clownfish shaking

[MEDHBSI]

One of my 2 clownfish keeps shaking at the other one turning sideways at him then doing it over and over. Are they going to fight or is this some kind of mating ritual?

It's "some kind of mating ritual" .

It's actually a show of submission but not necessarily a sign they will become mates...it all depends on whether the female accepts him or not
