Clownfish Very Territorial

[BrantheFishMan]

Hi,
I was wondering if my clowns are going to be laying any eggs soon. I think thet are because they have become territorial. Today i was putting a rock down near their home and in the next 2 min he knocked it right off the rock!!! I have had them for 4 months and they have already decided which is male and which is female, they have found their home and everything to start a new family. Also they werent always this teritorial, For the first 2 months they wouldnt attack my hands but in the 3rd month the female always atacked my hands so i bought some rubber gloves and she never attacked me because they seemed to be scared. Now she will attack my rubber gloves even though it doesnt hurt, also they knock things off their "roof" of their "house" and they also keep picking at corals and rocks, like the female is picking at the xenia alot.
Hope they are layin eggs!!!!! :beer:

They look 2 years old but I don't know exactly the female is about three to three in a half inches long and the male is about two they are false percs
Thank you for your quick responses

they could be getting close. but from my understanding occ clowns normally start laying around 2.5yrs give or take. but the aggression is just the female doing what she does and the male being a follower. and you would be amazed at what a clown can move, to get it out of their territory.
