I bought a second clown for my pecurla clown, and now my original one is following the other one around and doing this seizure looking thing.. He keeps shaking violently.. Its been about ten minutes, and they are glued to each other, and the original and bigger one is shaking.. Whats this mean!? Please help me..

its normal, not to worry

its a turf war thing, they will figure themselves out become friends, and maybe one day way down the line, lay eggs for ya!

Shaking dancing is how clowns establish their dominance ranking system (besides fighting)

wow, good luck with that, I always thought bigger anemone's were harder to acclimate to life in captivity than smaller ones
