Clown fish start fighting under moonlight

I have two Ocellaris Clownfish and they get along great. I recently bought a blue led light strip I was going to use for moonlight. When I turned the regular light off and turned the led strip on it made the clowns look black and bright white. They both freaked out and started darting all over the tank and the bigger clown chased the little on all over the tank. I turned the regular light back on and all was normal again? Anyone ever have something like this happen?

Maybe you got a "warewolf" clownfish . . .

Mine sometimes do that out lights out . . . maybe just letting the smaller one know its place to sleep.
