Strange Behavior

Hi! All,
Recently i notice my Tomato Clownfish is getting well along with The Red Saddleback Clown and they very much like to play near to the Torch anemone. Currently the Tomato Clown is sweeping the sand bed near the anemone that against the live rock, whenever he sweeps the sand bed and i would level the sand bed back to normal.My question is? Is this a normal behavior or is that got something to do with laying eggs or what so ever.

Thank you
Nash

My maroon clown, when the flame hawk gets too close to his home he will sweep the nose of the hawk. I think it has to do with territory and displaying ownership.
