Clown behavior after tank upgrade

Last night (12 hours ago) we moved all our inhabitants from our 29Biocube to our 90g. Our Sebae Anemone has been hosting my pair of Osillaris Clowns for a while. This morning I woke up to see under the blue moonlights that one clown will not let the other in the Sebae now. He is stuck hanging out by a rock and anytime it approaches the nem is get chased off. They are still about the same size, so I can't tell which is the male or female. They both got along fine before the tank move. Is this just a temporary thing from stress maybe?
 
Either one of your clowns is developing into a female and expressing her dominance over the other or most likely the new behavior is because of the move.

Your established pair are a bit "out of whack" and not comfortable with the new tank yet. Your female see's new surroundings and new territory and she has to once again remind the male, she is boss. They will begin to get along again in the next couple of weeks, nothing to worry about IMO.

Also once lights go out you will probably be able to see the male sneaking into the anemone when she inst paying attention.
