Female clownfish "rushing" the glass and then trying to bite it? Weird behavior

Hello everyone,

I have had this breeding pair of occelaris for about a year now. I had them in a 10g breeding system for most of the time. I recently moved for college and brought them with me 2 weeks ago. Now they are in my 12g aquapod and the tank was already cycled and good to go.

Now for some reason she looks at the glass from a distance and then rushes up to it and tries to bite it. It happens on the sides where the glass curves but also in the front and other sides. She is in perfect health and the water quality is fine. So my question is where is this behavior coming from? She does this about 7 times a minute.. So it isn't just a few times a day.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

-Matthew

She sees her reflection and is challenging an intruder. My pink skunk pair does it all the time when I clean the glass. They also make a loud grunting sound many times when they do it.
