These guys have been spending a lot of time in this hole in the rock. This is something new that they have not been doing before.

Thoughts on what they are doing?

 
Once a clown pair has found a spot they like, they’ll claim it as their own!

They have determined that area a safe place. Clowns are weird that way. They are kinda hosting the area. Weird, but normal.

They are both stuffed in there again. If I go near they leave because they think food is coming. Odd that they have not done this before on 3 months
 
It took my clowns nearly six months to find a host location other than one of my return nozzles. To quote @Flippers4pups, clowns are weird.
 
Check around the spot for eggs too. Maybe they just wanted some privacy :)
 
Looks like that is the closest thing they can find that feels like a host and safe place to reside.
