I purchased 2 (what the listing read) Black Onyx Perc clowns from an LFS, these 2 are absolutely inseparable, one goes one way the other follows, and it seems vice versa. Normal? In any event I'm just looking for clown behavior info, none the less, love these lil clowns.

They are paired up if they swim together. You are lucky that there was no bickering, percula are notoriously aggressive to each other when being paired, especially if they are the same size. Those are some nice clowns, by the way.

Thank you, I looked at every single tank with clowns in it, these 2 we're the only clowns in that tank, and they shared the same behavior at the LFS as they do in my tank. My only concern is that I fed them for the first time today, and noticed they suck in and spit out a lot of the food. I purchased Omega One Marine Flakes based on the high recommendations and reviews.

Try frozen mysis, brine with spirlina, LRS,
 
After observing them for a few minutes, it appears they spit out the larger pieces and suck up the tiny bite sized.
