Green Mandarin isn't swimming right

[Ashley13]

I've had this green mandarin for 3 weeks now and he's been doing great pecking at rocks eating pods until tonight i realized he isn't swimming right more like rolling through the water and i believe he is missing fins. Some of the fins looked to be laid down but im thinking some are gone. What could be causing this. Only tank mates are 2 snowflake clowns which haven't bothered him at all, a yasha goby paired with pistol shrimp, lawnmower blenny, emerald crab and cleaner shrimp which is now folling him around bothering him. Anyone have this issue before?

That looks like a LOT of flow for it being the bottom of the tank IMO

Agreed and missing fins indicates victim of aggression most likely.

I turned the flow so it's not on the bottom as much but he's been doing great until last night so i dont think the flow is the cause he's been swimming around eating fine and i havent seen any tank mates acting mean to him. What tank mate do you think is being aggressive?

clowns and a yasha goby wouldnt bother a mandarin, very few fish will bother a mandarin, it can produce a slimy toxic coating that keep other fish away, so I doubt it was aggression. Sorry, but on the video, it looks a little lost, usually meaning there are no more pods for it to hunt. How big is the tank and how old is it?

+1 above; I would check to see if there is a sustainable number of pods in your DT. Does his stomach area look "pinched?"

+1 he looks like me in search of a Burger King in a McDonald's world

It has a good amount of pods, i shinned my light and found 20+ in just a couple minutes and 2 were sitting right beside the mandarin. In this picture you can see his back fin is gone, im wondering if he hurt himself somehow on the rocks. But now that he's hurt i haven't seen him eat since late Thursday night.
