I bought this pair of clownfish yesterday.
acclimated them and and entered them into my qt tank. Just wanna know why the big one made the little one twitch like that lol.

also they are eating very little. Not sure why? They don’t really care for the marine flakes but they ate a bit of the brine shrimp. My LFS said that they feed them brine and mysis shrimp maybe I’ll get some mysis later today. Also maybe cause they’re still getting used to the tank?

I can't view the video on my iPad, but it sounds like a pairing thing (plus if they haven't killed each other that's always a good sign!) My clownfish really don't care for any flakes - preferring calanus, brine, mysis, LRS Reef Frenzy, etc.

I can’t see the video, but I’ve had two pairs of clownfish and the smaller one always ended up doing some weird twitch in front of the bigger clownfish, and they always got along great. Also none of my clownfish st pellets or flakes, only brine shrimp and mysis
