What are some normal habits of pairing clownfish?
I currently have one slightly larger frostbite ocellaris and one smaller frostbite ocellaris.
They were introduced today, I bought one a week ago and bought the other this week from the same tank at the same place.
The larger one seems to like to nip and chase the smaller one. I think this is normal pairing behavior because she is not injuring him at all. No signs of love in the air though.

It's normal behave for clown fish. She just want to make sure she is the boss and keep smaller one stay male.
Some female clown really meant and would harass the male to death so just keep an eyes on them, thing soon will be back to normal.
