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,
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
