Black and White Ocellaris Questions

[CurtPGA]

Hi all,

I have a pair of Black and White Ocellaris in my macroalgea tank. My question is my larger one (Female I assume) will lay on her side on the bottom of the tank. If I disturb her she darts to the top turning flips swimming round and round like she is in Nascar. Cut lights on flips out, lights off flips out, feeding time flips out, Is this nesting behavior or something else? I will try to attach a video if I can.

Also, this is not new, she has been doing this for weeks.

I see one doing this at my lfs. The one that does this is also a female. It has been doing this for 6 months and it's still holding strong.

That's interesting. I have two Phantoms and they are just scared of everything lol

My black and white lays on a rock most the time until that auto feeder runs then looks for food for awhile then back to the rock

Well, it looks like they are a loss from my nem nuked the tank. Lost both clowns, my nudibranch and the BTA. Thanks for the replies. On a happier note, my saltwater black mollies gave birth in another tank so there is that!
