I got him three days ago and I heard glass surfing is normal for them to do the first few days. But he flares sooo much. He will go explore and forget about himself and then when he comes back he gets sooo angry. He’s eating really good, he’s a feisty eater! He will snatch the freeze dried blood worms out of my fingers, and then try to eat my finger. I think he’s just full of rage. But please someone let me know if him fighting with himself isn’t normal

He’ll figure it out eventually. But I would for sure dim that light down a bit and invest into more plants. It looks very bright and empty-ish. Especially at the mid-top levels.
Do you have something flashy on that side of the room like a TV, lights, or anything that could be grabbing his attention? I’d drape a dark cloth over that side of the tank and watch if he still does it.
It looks like you have a bacterial bloom, did you cycle the tank before he was added?
That light is also really intense for him when there isn’t cover for him to hide from it
