Clownfish Oddities

So my understanding of clownfish swimming patterns is a bit lost. Is it normal for them to spend their entire day swimming vertically pressed against the glass? I have a 125g tank for them to swim in but they REALLY like this corner. Is this normal?

Are they really new? If so very normal mine did this for a while and as I added more fish they started swimming around more but still sleep in the corner of my tank and hang there a decent bit during the day. Clowns are weird as long as they are eating good and don't have any visible signs of disease or parasites they should be fine.

So the larger one is technically 8 years old but we have only had her 2 weeks. The smaller one we just got over the weekend and he was swimming normal then noticed her and started following. The only time she leaves that glass is when I’m feeding the tank.

I would say def. normal it will take time for the clownfish to get used to a new environment. They will always pick a particular spot in the tank however.

Okay, thank you! I was getting worried.
