I just got a brand new torch coral for my clowns to host. Today one of my clowns went and bit of of the tentacles of the torch and immediately started acting strange. He wont stop vigorously swimming in one particular corner of the tank. It's like he is attacking his reflection. What would be causing this?

Clowns will be clowns. Sounds like normal clown behaviour.

Also, technically an anemone hosts the clown, not the other way around.

Clowns might attempt to be hosted by something else, it might not end up going to the torch or it might go in.
