    the naked clown just hovers while the other comes over looks at it and goes to the other side of the tank. The bandw clown also attacts the naked clown when it leaves its rock. Is this normal for the first day?

    well when i first introduced my clowns they would chace eachother. and after a while of chacing one would get on its side and shake. Few days later they were unseparable.
