Tang aggression or disease ?

[Max Slingsby]

Hi everyone, I wondered if I could have some advice on my maroon clown. Just recently I have noticed the fins to be deteriorating and can’t diagnose if it is aggression from other fish or a disease causing the above problem. I have a powder blue tang and blue eye tang but never witness any aggression towards the maroon clown. The above is a female and the smaller male( breeding pair) sometimes gets into a scrap with it But nothing serious, just periodic aggression. Any advice would be appreciated

Maroon Clowns can definitely be aggressive, even to us. It’s a good guess. Fins grow fast.

hi,i would monitor closely,even leave the room ,video tape them for an hour .
typically the male receives the worst of the spat,especially in maroon clowns ...

Thankyou, that’s what I’m hoping.
