Nothing to worry about unless they won't come out for food. Mine hang in the back right corner together but if I were to drop food on the other side of the tank, they dart over to it and quickly back 'home' to their side lol
Mine is the same way. I have a sand bottom and he digs a nice little cave in it where he hangs out all day-- until food arrives. I did notices that when he had a mate they ventured out more, but she decided to jump out of the tank one night to explore so now he's alone again..

I have clowns in a 40 breeder for several years, they always stay in their corner. They will venture out once in a while, but they like their corner. I would just let them be.
Yep
.....

I have a Mated Pair of a Snowstorm and and a Gladiator clown....they stay in the upper left corner, and have their babies in same spot....just 2 weeks ago, they started to plant their babies on the return line....weird indeed . Mating for almost 2 years now!...in a 40B as well.

Go ahead and stick your finger in the tank. They'll come out of the corner just to bite you. When they get big it's going to hurt. Meanest fish in the tank. What's more, after years of peaceful coexistence, the buggers suddenly discovered that purple frilly gorgonians are tasty. Went through one like a buzz saw in one day.
I its individual. I had a tank with a clown that blitzed and knocked down corals and tried to bite. My last tank had a very passive and agreeable clown. Both were cinnamon clowns.
