Today I moved my live rocks around to give a Rose Coral better light and some tube coral less light. During this process my flow was too much for my Ocellaris clownfish. They are both small but my male got caught in the filter pick-up and has an visible abrasion. I added a 3 lbs base rock to give a new area of reduced flow for them but should I move the injured clown into my 14 gal hospital tank and what would I treat the injury with?

The main tank is a 30 gallon in the break in phase with just the 2 clowns and 3 Chromis and a yellow stripe cleaner goby. The two corals came on 10 lbs of Florida live rock a month in and they are still alive.

Up date I added a none copper stress coat to the hospital tank the white puffy area has gone away I can still see where the scales were pulled out by the filter but it does not look like there is a secondary infection.
