MY Clownfish are SHAKING???

Hello All,

This evening, I noticed my clownfish pair in the back part of the tank doing a shaking, twitching manuever with each other...is this how they mate?

My gsm pair do this all the time. The male will turn sideways and they form like a T and shake like crazy for a few seconds. Kinda funny to watch.

Mating ritual for sure.

That is exactly what they are doing, pretty funny, guess it is about time they started mating!
