Clownfish will you host me?

[the_fish_man]

Well I got a RBTA for my tank and have been hoping my 2 black percula clowns would host it. When I first put it in the tank they hated it. Although over time they have started swimming under it for a few seconds then swimming away and swimming in it for a few second then going away. Could this possibly be them getting ready to host it?

Well I guess it was a small step my clowns started hosting it today! Here is a few pictures

Thanks. Also a side question my clowns keep shaking on the rock and just in open water space. It is mainly the male but sometimes the female. Is this breeding? I have no idea

It is a breeder display yes, typically only done by the male. Watch for them cleaning off surfaces and digging under rocks too.

Actually, it's the male displaying the female's dominance. Breeding may come, but that's just the first step. You can see other damsels do the same thing with a larger clown.
