Is it what I think it is? I mean 5 heads all at the same time.

Yep. My single head duncan popped out about 5 heads all the way around the perimeter all at once.
Since then, it just keeps on going.

I think clowns bite at anemones when they're first exploring them as a potential host.
Mine did the same to my duncan for quite a while. I thought it was a goner but it survived and eventually the clown left it alone. Much later, when the duncan was big enough, the clown now hangs out in it.

I started a post about the biting some time back here if you're interested:
