Another clown/anemone question

Yesterday I noticed my maroon clown slapping my anemone with her tail. A little while later she was bumping into the outside of the anemone really hard with her nose. I haven't seen this behavior before. Is this normal? The only thing that looks different with the anemone is that it is looking taller and thinner but it is open and eating.

Has anyone ever seen them do a wierd twitch? I had my original clown for about a month and all was well. Then I introduced the second and after about 5 minutes in the tank the original clown would swim up and do a twitch. It would rotate 45 degrees on it side, and twitch or almost convulse 3 or 4 times and then back up to normal. I watched this happen several times in the next 24 hours then he stopped.

I saw him do it again this weekend once they were "courting" the anenome. I wonder if it is some type of behavior or based on relationships. Or maybe I just have a messed up fish!

expressing dominance, settling pecking order, and then LOVE.

as long as they are same kind and they don't kill each other, they more than likely will eventually pair up...at least in my experience.
