ive had these two clowns for a little bit about a week or so, and ive noticed one has been getting what looks like nippage on fins, the other didnt seem so aggressive to where i observed actual nippage but i assumed it was part of the proccess of who become female etc. but today i woke up and found theyre getting worse and starting to get this white rim along w them not really using one of their fins, not clamped but also not really being used. what should i do?

Female will often be a bully/aggressor as its part of a hierarchy and will hog the food, beat on them, corner them and play nice when you come up to the tank. One way to confirm is to set your cell phone on video mode for about 40 mins and drop a little food and walk away - YOU MUST walk away as they know youre there. Often the aggressor is a monster at feeding time.
Please post a couple pics under white lighting
 
I answered your other thread and please refrain from cross posting as it takes away from others also seeking an answer to their concerns.
This may not be aggression but rather fin and tail rot from bacterial/water conditions.
Treat fish in quarantine with either seachem kanaplex or maracyn 2 for at least 5 days and increase oxygen during treatment with air stone.
 
thought the pics posted but ig not. ill repost, and yea i thought posting this under the proper forum would help get the answers i was looking for vs the thread that i made before. as far as bullying i see almost none the other one has been hiding in this little cave and hasnt even come out for food so im not to sure whats goin on.
 
heres the photos

I try to keep the same species together. But looks like normal wear and tear. Just watch them for a while if it gets worse and looks like any fin rot or anything then quarantine the fish and treat it. You can find posts on this website with treatments. As far as quarantine tank. If you don’t have extra tank then go to PetSmart or something and set up a 10 gallon with a filter and heater and cycle it and do your treatments… GO SlOW nothing good happens fast
