Clownfish Fighting

They fight to establish dominance. If they already have established that, then the bully might kill the other. Isolate the bully for a day then reintroduce. One of my clownfish developed a sore on his chin during the fighting (white spot with a red center. Center got more red over a week.) They stopped fighting after a week or so and then the sore cleared up over a month. You might try feeding more so there isn't food aggression. Also feeding more will give the injured clown energy to heal. You could soak food in selcon for an immune system boost as well.
I'm not sure if dominance is established anymore. The smaller one bit back and the bully started to submit by shaking but the small one is still losing. They are on and off with fighting every few min or so
