Clownfish dragged away from food

[SLCarrillo]

hello all! I recently bought 2 clownfish at my lfs and they HATE each other. I even got one a little bigger to naturally encourage a “pecking order” but the big one is REALLY mean. To the point where I get nervous about my little guy. Today i was hand feeding them and the little one came in for a bite and the big one grabbed him by the fin and dragged him away from the food i even have it on video!
I guess my question is is this normal behavior? Should I be worried??

encourage a “pecking order”

This what is happening. The more dominant one is telling the other to stay male. Hopefully, he's small enough to not have transitioned. I would give it a week or two. If you see the smaller one turn to his side and start twitching, be relieved. That is a sign of submission and they'll both calm down.

Awesome thank you. I will keep my eye out for the twitching!
