Guess I was thinking one clown would stay smaller but they seem almost the same size now! Is this a normal?

They still seem to be getting along and both are using the hammer as a host. Not sure the hammer is loving it as it’s not as full as it used to be before they started.

 
With clowns it's not a problem until it is. Could be that they haven't decided which one is going to be female yet OR the smaller one is the dominant one and so it became a female and is growing to take up the mantle.

How long have they been together?
 
A solid year together. One was always noticeably smaller! Always seemed to pair well together. With summer I haven’t had much time to notice their size. They took to the hammer about 3 months ago.
 
Mine went quite a while before the two males started growing to be a similar size to my female. They're still all slightly staggered but pretty close in siE - maybe less than 1/4" between the largest and the smallest of the 3.
 
Well that makes me feel better one does seem a smidge bigger.

Thanks for response
