Hey guys, don’t know if this is anything I should be worried about but my clowns fins seem a little frayed. It’s just the coloured part, the edges of the fin do not look nipped or damaged... My other clown has none of this. Anyone know what might be causing it? Water parameters normal. Have a mandarin and another clown and some hermit crabs. I did also put in a nnew bubble tip anemone 1 week ago but the clowns ignore it. Is this some kind of fin rot? Thanks.
Sorry pics aren’t great I will try get some better ones

How long have you had the clowns and would it happen to be the smaller of the two? Possibly a little nipping going on. Determining dominance.
 
I’ve had them about 3 months and yes he is the smaller one.
Sounds like normal clown fish behavior establishing dominance. I didn't see anything in the pics that stood out. Maybe someone else will chime in if they spot something out of the norm.
