Looks like mating behavior to me. Maybe they'll breed through the divider. Do you want them to breed?

i would like them to breed but dont know if she is fertile cause everytime she looks likes shes ready nothing happens and its about 4 times already. After awhile I just put the divider up cause he literally beats her up after about 40 min. Do u have any suggestions??

You could lean a piece of slate or flat rock against the divider on her side. She can lay her eggs safely in there when she is ready to breed. The male can still fertilize the eggs through the divider without harming the female. A deep water change may help get her ready to breed too.
