Reclusive Tomato Clowns

After acclimation, I recently added a mated pair of tomato clowns to my 100g tank. It has a small bubble anemone in it. They immediately took to the anemone and dug out a cave under the rock. This was about a week ago.

Today, I only get glimpses of them because they have stayed in their cave all day. I occasionally see a tail sticking out, so I know they are alive. Usually, they take swims around the tank while the other mate loves up the anemone. So, what's up?

I'm a newbie at mated pairs. Are they spawning?
 
I'm not sure of their age. The female is the biggest tomato that I've seen so far.

I was out for a few hours and they were out. Perhaps they didn't like all the comotion in my house with the weekend fun in progress.

I was worried that the female took out the male, but I think he found a new hiding place on the other-side end of the tank. It's probably his dog house for when she's not in pleasant mood. :)

Sorry for the false alarm.
