Sam's 20 gallon long build!

So i started a nano reef a couple months ago in a ten gallon rimless. After a couple weeks my stock regarding fish was a ocellious clown, firefish and a scooter blenny. Around a month of having this rimless my clown took a leap of death for me to find him on the floor... to late. So at that point i decided to switch every thing into an old twenty gallon long with a lid!!! Ill post pictures of the ten gallon now, then ill post pictures of my new 20 gallon long.

Questions on mating?

I want to mate these two. They are both rather small clowns that I got 4 days apart from each other. Can anyone tell me the behavior the clowns should have when deciding the gender roles.
