Yes, I know "Clown Fishes"

Hey,
over the weekend i just added a new False perc. Clownfish to my 15g tall reef tank to go with my other one who has been alone for a while. When i bought the new one i relized he was about 1/4 of an inch bigger than my other one. I am really hopeing they will form a pair :o ! I dont have a anenome but ever since i put the new one in they have been treating my hammer coral as one. The new one tries to swim against the current of the powerhead. Is there anything i should do to help them pair up. Or do i just sit here and wait(any idea how long they usally take to pair up)?

Thanks

It could take up to a year or more before they 'pair up'. One will become the female and one will remain the male. The male will be smaller and since you already have a bigger one, chances are that's gonna be the girl.
As far as swimming against the current, that's normal. they love to play and mind their own business.
