I would somehow separate the 2 of them if it is fighting. Clownfish are very territorial especially if they are 2 females they will fight sometimes to the death in order to establish dominance. Do you know how old they were when introduced into the tank together?

If you suspect aggression between them I reccomend separating them. Breeder box, QT tank, or just drain some tank water and put it in a bucket until it calms down. But in all seriousness I would get a better opinion
