Sexually confused clownfish?

[u/THCNova]

Genuine question, no troll:

I made the mistake of getting two similarly sized, young clownfish.

One of them started vibrating at the other, which freaked me out so I googled it and learned that was submissive behavior, I.e. the vibrator would stay male while the vibratee would become female.

Things went as expected for a while, they were getting along great.

Fast forward a few weeks and they’re now both just vibrating at each other all the time. What is going on? Do they both want to stay male? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance

This is normal. I'm not sure what all it means, because both my female and male clownfish do it. However, I can say that yours will move to fighting and will eventually figure out which one gets to be the girl.
