So I was inspecting my clownfish today for anything out of the ordinary and I noticed a little torn spot in my females anal fin. I think it’s from my male or maybe she had a bad encounter with my cleaner shrimp or rocks. Not fin rot I don’t think. Take a look, it’s the fish on the right

Prime suspect- other clown but looks like aggression

The pelvic fin, right? I see possible multiple bite marks, so I would suspect the male clown, but what other fish do you have in with it?
This should heal on its own as long as the aggression doesn’t continue.
