Maybe try seachem stress guard and feeding some food with vitachem or selcon or something like pellets or flakes that are loaded with nutrition. Stress guard is supposed to heal up wounds.

In a healthy system and good feeding, the Coral Beauty should be fine. When toy say that you put the Coral Beauty "together" with the clown - what do you mean specifically?

Can i ask why you need to remove your fish to clean your tank? That doesn't seem right...

I was wondering the same thing. The only times I've had to remove the livestock for a "cleaning" was the exceptionally rare complete reboot of the system - maybe twice in 30+ years, or when I'm upgrading to a new system and even then I generally set the new tank up and just move the fish from the old home to the new.

FWIW - given time, your fish may very well recover, but will likely be scarred forever.

Easier said than done is very hard to remove a fish when u have a landscape of rocks is literally impossible but it we did it we change the landscape clean everything it feels like i just bought a new tank i recommended to anyone

Maybe not enough room? Some fish that do well in larger tanks fight when placed in smaller ones.
Thats exactly what happen but they were monitored constantly and they seem perfect so i trusted them and boom it happen in 10 to 15 period when i go check on them the coral beauty was destroyed
