Aww, :crying-face: poor little guy! At least his tail does still look to be in tact, so he should heal pretty well. Just get that crazy clarkii out of there.

This is infected but will heal likely. Recommended treatments:

In tank - Ruby Rally Pro which will take longer to act OR ibn separate tank and more effective,.. . Seachem Neoplex with added aeration to the tank

There’s no guarantee the fish will make it, if you can get kanaplex it will work, but so would neoplex.
Update
He didn’t make It, he was in too bad of a condition, his back was broken, missing 4 fins basically, I’m gonna go get a new clown and goby today
But, I still feel horrible about banana minion stu bob

Clarki as well as maroon and Sebae are known aggressive and are biters and can do damage. These clowns will in time will go after your hand when doing maintenance. Best would be to isolate the clown for about 10 days and see if behavior changes, If not, you have a decision to make

And they are in a 55g
They have become very aggressive, they are almost 5 years old.

Ouch. It does happen more than many realize yet they act so innocent in presence of their owners
