I'm thinking to just separate them. This has happened to a lot of times. what I did was just did was remove both and exchange for 2 in the same tank.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

The videos are too blue to see much, but it looks like this clown has some damage on its face as well. This probably began as aggression from another fish, but now I see signs of a bacterial infection. At the very least, separate this fish from any others. You should also consider treating with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic like Neoplex, in a treatment tank,
