Do you notice any white spots on it? Real defined tiny white spots, on the fins and Gills, but could be every where. If so most likley ICH, you need to see the disese section of these messg. bds.
If not how is your water chemistry? I know in my FW tank my fish needed a conditioner in the water. It helps their slime coat keeps them healthy. How bout an anenomie or a coral in your tank? Have you seen him trying to host one if you have it? Im not sure how clown fish actually start to host but if he rubbed one and it stung him maybe hes a bit irritated. I know I had my Royal Gramma get a little banged up inside my LR when I was rearranging it and she came out with some scratches on her. She would from time to time rub on some thing. She doesn do it anymore but she did until the scratches went away.
Im not sure but those are just some ideas.

Ive had 2 clowns for 9mo and today one is chasing the other around, and now its hiding someplace it was on the bottom for a while. Now its know where to be found. Ive never seen them do this.

clowns do weird things....let's hope he doesn't continually do it and stir that sand into the water and make your tank cloudy other than that it's normallish for him to do it just could be annoying

might be kicking up sand to find food? i used to have freshwater fish that would do that around the gravel and pick up whatever food started floating.
my male gsm did it just because he was unhappy.. he'd also scoop up the sand with his mouth and spit it at my corals and my live rock just because. but i've already traded him and the female out for a mated pair of ocellaris
