I saw my one clown fish really going after my other clown fish. The one was hosting the uv filter, and the other would dart over to it, stare at the other, shimmy a few times, swim away, swim around, then come back and do the same thing. At one point though, I noticed the one actually bit the other, so a little concerned about if this is normal, or the one is being too aggressive. I've attached a video, and I hope this helps to display some of this behavior between them.

 
Yeah- The typical clown aggression. They are cute but also jerks. Lower light intensity a little and if needs be, place the other clown in sump for a 2-3 day time out.
