I have a pair of ocellaris clowns, one female one male. The female is neurotic but has calmed down significantly since adding a buddy. She’ll still chase him and act like she’s going to bite him (never hurts him) and recently he’s been taking shelter under my gorgonian.

Unfortunately for the gorgonian, this is extremely aggravating. Came home to see it completely naked and detaching from the rock it is on. Is it still healthy? Will this harm it?

Need a pic. But yes a clown can love a coral to death.
