Clown Fish Odd Behavior?

[YaBaBo]

I know it's a bit toooo early for mating and its only a little over an inch. But the smaller clownfish swims on his side. Placing his stomach on the bigger clownfish... What kind of behavior is this? And if the bigger one moves, the smaller one follows... The other clownfish which is a bit darker than the other two stays around them but doesn't do anything... The smaller and the larger one seems to bump alot and though they don't bite, they are constantly on the top of the tank and like the smaller fish is constantly on its side making me think he's sick!! Idk... Is it a natural behavior? I also have a mimic tang, an anemone which they don't to close to -.- and couple of poly and zoa and they are doing beautifully. What may it be?

It seems like they paired up. When I first got my clownfish they did the same.

They may not be "mating" but they may have paired up. Have you noticed if the fish actually like spasms? It is all normal..
