Lip locked true percs?? With pics.

I recently purchased a new true percula, I already had one in the tank. The new one is very healthy and is eating, but the old one just will not leave the new one alone. They fight like crazy. They fight, bite, and get head to head like in a face off, and then they lock lips for like 20-25 seconds. I'm pretty sure this isn't normal. Are they hurting each other? Are they just not compatible? I have two false percs in there also and they could care less about the new addition. Thanks in advance for any help.
