Fighting or Pairing?

Well I moved the clown with that has the stripes, the bigger one, to the sump for now. Not seeing any more fighting but its mouth is a little damaged. So it stay in the sump to recover, I may sell or trade it not sure yet. I just don't want it to die from the stress.
 
These are my 2 new clowns, been in the tank 2 days. Introduced at the same time, in the same bag and out of the same tank at the LFS. There were about 10 other clowns in there with them too. Fighting our pairing? Circling each other, mouthing fins and face. Started this morning been fine and swimming together until now. It has died down and now they are in opposite sides of the tank.


Definitely it is aggression you need to separate them before it is to late and you loose one, when pairing the behavior is more different more slower and not as aggressive as it looks in here... separate them inmediately.
