I purchased my rainbow bubble tip anemone a week and a half ago and he’s been climbing to the top of the center rock and detaching. He keeps stinging my corals whenever he floats around. I turned down the flow for now but I don’t know what’s going on. (The first 2 picks were taken with flash)

Hmm...anemones are known to move around in order to seek the most optimal conditions for them. I'd posit it's either water conditions/parameters, light, or flow. Can you give descriptions for all of them? Based off of what's in the post, my gut instinct is that it's a light issue, since it's climbing to the top of the rocks. Have you dimmed the light intensity? Considered increasing the light intensity?
 
Yep, your nem has it's running shoe laced up and tight. It's lookin for its best tanning spot. Mine move all around but stay in a certain area. Guess it's because they like it there... But anenomes moving around is a normal thing. Sorry to hear about other corals getting stung, you may have to relocate them....
