Introducing new juvenile clownfish to tank

[Leyth]

Alright guys, so the other day we had a really bad storm and one of my snowflake clownfish jumped. I am assuming the storm startled him as it was very loud. I am also assuming it was the male of the two that jumped since it was much smaller than the other. Well today I introduced a wyoming white clownfish that is smaller than the female and the female is charging him and then pauses awaiting for the submission/seizure thing, but he won't do it. He just runs away instead. Is that normal and it just takes time, or is this not going to happen and I should intervene before someone dies? It's been about 3 hours, but I don't want to leave them together over night if this does not look like it's going well.

They are the only fish in the aquarium if that matters.

Lights going out will pause the behavior.

If 'he' isn't standing up to her, but rather running away, it is a sign of submission and should work itself out, but if your worried, you can use a social acclimation box, critter keeper, or eggcrate diffuser to keep them visible to each other but seperated so they can calm down.
