Clownfish fight?

[KaliReeFiend]

Just noticed this on one of my clowns this morning. His tail is a little nipped it looks like also. He’s eating like a champ and not acting any different. I’ve had them for 2 weeks today and the other looks fine.

Have you seen the fish fight at all?

I’m assuming that your pair are small, juvenile fish - if not please provide more details. Aggression is normal with clownfish as they work to establish a hierarchy. Keep an eye on them and let them work through their issues unless it appears to be live threatening. Also observe for infections of any wounds. Good luck!

The other one is a little bigger and used to hover over him in the sand for the first week now its generally at night when they go to bed. I dont know about fighting but could be a possibility.

Yes the other one is a little bigger and used to hover over him in the sand for the first week now its generally at night when they go to bed. I dont know about fighting but could be a possibility if it is I dont think its life threatening at this point but I will def monitor them as best as I can.
