"swimming" up and down in the water column is typical clown behavior.
I would have some concerns about ammonia level in your water unless you zeroed out nitrite and ammonia, both as you may know are toxic.
If your live rock is well established rock, then no concern.
I am Leary of the LFS quick cycles.

If they eat well, and no others signs like spots, rashes, heavy breathing, glassy eyes, lathargic, I would not be concerned.

But keep an eye out for any changes.
