clowns sleeping with hippo. Odd or no?

I have a pair of regular clowns about 2.5 years old and I just got a baby hippo tang about 3mnths ago. The tang is a little bigger than a quarter.
90% of the time they are swimming together and rubbing up against each other, I think their pack behavior is odd due to . So the past few night when peeking into the tank I noticed the two clowns have the hippo up against the tank wall and they are balled up around covering him.(cant get a picture they swim away when I try to take a picture.)

Anybody have a similar experience with this happening? I find it extremely odd. I have owned one other hippo and two different sets of clowns several years ago that lived with each other and never noticed any type of relationship close to this.
 
Now that's a sight I want to see! It's probably such a friendly dynamic because of the baby hippo's small size.
