So first I bought these from lfs a while back and they were labeled black ice clowns. As I look online they look more like Wyoming clowns. Is there a difference? Can anyone positively ID these?

Next question... the 2 are always together no matter what. The bigger one though seems to be a little agressive sometimes and it looks like she pushes the other around literally. Also pushes the tangs around although no one seems to care and just lets her push. Was just wondering.
 
They are "Wyoming White" Clowns. Definitely not Black Ice! Here is a (terrible) pic of my "Black Ice" pair for you to compare:



As far as their interactions, the larger one is the female. They do push around the smaller males. The males then need to be submissive (they do some head/body shaking) or else, it won't end well! But from your description, it sounds like they are paired up and interacting just fine.
 
Nice... I definitely was charged the black ice price. I see the Wyomings are more expensive everywhere. They charged me $50 for each because i got the pair.
The behavior doesn't seem to bother any of the fish, they all just literally stay there and let her push them around. My only issue is its been like 1.5 month in my tank and they stay on 1 side for the most part. ( the clowns ). 150Gal and they just like that left side of the tank. The Tangs are 2 weeks new and at very small so i could understand them staying in 1 spot but they definitely wander off into the middle of the tank as the clowns strictly stay on the left. The only fish that utilize the tank size is the Lawnmower blenny and the Majestic angel.
 
They could also be Platinum Picasso's. You might need a better pic so that people here could see the dorsal fin to determine if they're Percula or Ocellaris. These are my baby platinum and they were $50 each.
