Different species clowns together

Well, i have a cinnamon clownfish and two smallish false percs in my 60 show. I have a somewhat bleached (the part that's below all the tentacles on the underside. You can't see when all tentacles r open) sebae and a recovering BTA. The cinnamon tends to go back + forth between the sebae and the BTA, but he hurts my percs. However, one perc is slightly bigger than the other, and they both do the submissive dance to each other, alternating by day or 2. Sometimes it's the smaller one, and a day or 2 later it's the bigger. Is this because they're both staying submissive to the cinnamon, who's 4"? or are they just pairing?
 
They are probably pairing. However, they are going to get really hounded by the Cinamon. Your tank is too small for mixing clown species.
 
48"x18"x12" = 45g
Is the tank in your signature the one housing the three clowns? Much too small (by 100g or more IMO) for mixing clowns. I'd remove either the pair, or the cinnamon, and put them/her into another tank - it's too bad there's not an easier solution, but unfortunately I think the cinnamon will probably bother the pair indefinitely.
