Newbie clownfish questions (video below):
*He's small, about 1", and been in the established 37 gallon tank for about 3 weeks.
1. Please help ID -- is this an Ocellaris?
2. To buy a friend now, I assume I need to get another small one the same size but does it have to be the same species (if I'm not hoping for any breeding, just to get along)?
3. Feeding twice a day, usually marine flakes but occasionally jellyfish food (dried plankton) that he seems to love -- is this about right? (Tank also has a small bi-color blenny but the clown is more aggressive and gets whatever he wants).
4. In the video, you can see that the clown seems like it's "working" a lot. Just wondering if this is OK. (At night he rests and feeding he's fast and no problem getting to whatever he wants).
*if wondering about the tank at all, here's my intro post that pretty much describes how I got here:

Hello - Newbie - Inverts Only (So Far)
Howdy,,, new to aquariums and found this site. Cool! I’m seeing discussions like, “running a QT, waiting on new DT, diatom and some GHA” …so far, my thoughts are What the heck? Also thought I accidentally redirected to NASA when I found something about “CO2 scrubbers.” Anyway, learning a...
