So over the last 3-4 days both my percula clowns have taken a liking to this part of my live rock.
Is this hosting...are they mating...? Is it something to be concerned about? Both seem to be eating like usual.

Clowns are weird. As long as they're eating they are likely fine, assuming they are of the same species. They will find a spot to reside, rock in your case. Mine started at a return nozzle! All sounds perfectly normal at this point.

Sounds good. Just for clarification, I didn't mean to imply yours were different species. My point was that varying species can sometimes be a problem. I had actually posted before your pictures came up.
