Newbie to clown's

[vwwanksta69]

Just got my first two ocellaris clownfish yesterday and today (first the smaller ocellaris and then the slightly larger B&W today)

-I have a couple questions, the first one I added which is slightly smaller was swimming all around the tank and interacting with my blue/ green chromis. Today I added my Black and white ocellaris (about 15 hours after adding the first) and it seems that both of them get along slightly, (they both swim around each other and dont touch one another like I saw a maroon clownfish earlier torpedoing into another clownfish earlier today...) but the BW does swim downwards toward the orange and since that has created this...The only thing I notice is that the orange one has been in a corner of the tank creating a small hole in the sand bed....Just wondering if I should be concerned or not?

Thanks here are some pics...

First off, if there is a maroon clown in the tank, it needs to be removed. If not...

Clownfish, do have a reputation for doing very odd things sometimes when mating or establishing the pair, and/or dominant fish. However, if this behavior continues, and the fish gets sick or stops eating we will need to determine a further course of action.

there is no maroon in my tank it was at my lfs...well bad news the smaller ocellaris died tonight started to basically just float around the tank and was being attacked by my chromis, then i saw him fall to the sand bed and not move , tank parameters are all normal so this probably wasnt the cause of it, he was not eating and neither has the BW, I am using frozen cubes of baby brine and mysis shrimp...I thaw out half of a cube and then dump it into my tank, is there something I am doing wrong, the chromis goes nuts when I put food in the tank but the clowns just sit there....

Thanks
