    Yep. Haha twitching is good though. It can either be a sign of aggression, or it can be a sign of courtship. So it's either clown love or hate. It sounds like you have a bonded pair, which is good. And don't worry about them not being near each other, ours had a rocky relationship moment where they spent about 4 or more days apart from each other. Even at night. But now they're back together again :D We have a bonded pair as well :)

    I checked on my clowns. Looks like their hosting a rock together. But it's a bottom rock in the back of the tank. I really hope they move to the front

    They'll probably get tired of looking at a blank wall. Once they figure out where the food comes from they will be at the front begging every time you walk by.

    what defdad said. Ours "live" in the back right corner of the tank. That's where they sleep at night, that's where they go when they're stressed, and that's where they go when they're full. But during all those hours in between, they're all over the place. And in the hours before feeding time (we feed every other day), they'll follow any human being who walks by. You just gotta give them time to explore and get used to their home :) Normally clowns try to host the calmest part of the tank, or so I've heard.

    Ours did have a power head hosting episode once though...

    Haha probably. Their both out in front now, I have two bulbs turned on for viewing and they seem ok about it. It's so nice to have fish in there, I really hope they make it.

    I've noticed the male has a tiny bit of his tail missing, just a very very small piece. And the female has a string type thing coming out of her. I think it's just poop as I didn't see it earlier. I think I'll just keep an eye on her.
