Clown behavior

[J19Reynolds]

Is it normal for clown fish to rub on the rocks? Mine keeps swimming by and rubbing on a rock... Now they kinda look like they are gardening one o the holey rocks :-/

No inputs?

How long have you had them? Are they paired up( are they always together)?

Some times they get protective over their territory

I bought them out of same tank... I have had them a week today... They state together first day or so then one morning I found them at different end of the tanks but then yet got back together and stay together pretty much all time or one will hide in the cave and the other will e swimming around it

Sounds like normal clown behavior you shouldn't worry unless it is flashing. Clowns will host some of the strangest things anything from a mag float to an anemone and everything in between. It sounds like it is hosting and they don't need an anemone to host mine has decided it likes my candy canes better than a rbta.

Ya that's pretty much normal, don't sound like nothing's wrong.
