You simply need a multi monitor screensaver.

I recommend you look at Really Slick Screensavers

Also, as a bonus, they are all free and open source!

Here's a Lifehacker article:

Screensavers For Multiple Monitors

My favorite screensaver: Dream Aquarium

Features:

The most realistic fish motion and behavior of any virtual aquarium.

A fiddler crab that cleans the bottom of the aquarium and chases fish.

Fish have articulated fins, moving eyes, gills and mouth.

Beautiful shifting light rays, ground ripples, gently waving plants that fish can swim into, soft shadows cast by fish, configurable bubble streams, auto-feeding.

dd well over a hundred fish (from 18 species), and change settings without having to exit the aquarium.

Widescreen formatting, multi-monitor support & much more!

... but it isn't free.

Check out UltraMon. It allows you to put different 'non-multi-monitor-aware' screen savers on different monitors.
