Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I could get the video to work - the clown is obese and has some swimming issues and has some fin damage (from tankmate aggression?). Can you tell us more about this fish's history? How long have you had it? Is it still eating?

Please change lighting from red to Bright white only, no blue either. Its hard to see defects on a white body .
Is clown breathing normal or labored and eating normally?
Looks to be fin nipping from another fish
