    I don't know how else to describe it, but my female clown goes to the sandbed then goes to her side and does this twitching thing on the sand. She's the only one that does it, and it's only once in a while, but it's just weird.
    is it just a normal clown thing

    The twitching and turning on the side is a showing of submission by clownfish. It's normally done more by males, but they all do it every once in a while ;)
