I can see the video (you have to download it on a desktop computer first).

I think the hawkfish may be "seeing red" and has been bullying it. I can see a couple of minor fin tears as well.

This is a really small QT, be sure you keep the ammonia level near zero.

I see scrape/injury opposed to disease or condition. If fish startles easily, may be part of it.
Keep an eye on it for any worsening requiring treatment. IF scrape- will heal and improve on its own

I have a 10 and 20 long I can set up easy enough I went with this small one because of the big water changes I can use others for QT tank. No further treatment at this point for the clown? I will be removing hawkfish straight away to rehome him

I don’t see anything immediately treatable on the clownfish. Remote diagnosis is always tricky though….

Thank you again
