Is this normal clownfish behavior?

When I get home from work at night my clownfish goes nuts. I usually feed during the day and he gets fed plenty. He seems like he is all over the place and bumping into the glass but he may just be precisely swimming to each side. This seems a little erratic. Thoughts?

For whatever reason I can't view the video, but what you described sounds like normal clownfish behavior. They're weird. Amazing, but still weird.

Yeah no video, just audio.

But as above, clownfish do weird things, and your is no more weirder then any other ones.

My old clowns used to pace the front glass whenever I got home and would look in on the tank( I work early morning and feed the tank late evening, so the clowns knew they werent't getting fed at the time). I think they just get used associating me with food, so whenever I'm near the tank they think their going to get fed.
