Hurt Royal Gramma

[notafishexpert1]

Hi everyone. I have a 30 gallon tank with 2 clownfish , pink streaked wrasse , bicolour blenny and royal gramma
Today I noticed an injury on the side of the royal gramma by the fin- white marks with some red. I’m not sure if this is from rock work or if it’s being bullied. I do notice the female clown will sometimes check the gramma but for most of the time they are fine and ignore each other and there is never prolonged chasing or nipping - what is the best thing to do ? should I rehome the gramma or leave as is

I am not a fish expert either. As a reefer of 55 years, I don’t see a problem.
However, in perusing your threads, I see where you have lost several fish since January. Did you ever reach a diagnoses on what caused those losses.

It looks like the clowns are intimidating the RG. It looks like there is one big arch in the tank but otherwise no real hiding spots. I would add a few more rocks at the base of the arch to create some really tight spaces that the RG can hide but the clowns can't follow. RG does naturally like to hide in caves, so forcing the fish to be out in the open is stressful to the fish. There is not enough rock in the tank for the number of fish that you have. IMO

Hi , yes so I suspect they died due to a Pom Pom crab that was added that contained ich and flukes. I lost all fish except the clownfish and inverts

Hi thanks for your advice - this is my tank currently- I rearranged the rock while the clown was in a breeder box , do you think I need more rock ?
