    I just got a pair of clowns a couple days ago they were doin just fine until today I notice a little bit of flesh was hanging off the female clowns fin...I didn't think much of it untill tonight I noticed it looked much worse like I can actually see bone. The wound is right were her fin conjoins with her body...she can't really even move the fin and she isn't eating well at all mostly because the other fish get it before she can. What do you guys suggest I do?

    Well, I just tried that and she can still avoid the net pretty good and she hides behind the rocks. I was going to put her in the refugium, I may have to try again.

    If you cant catch her you may have to remove some rock to do so...I read in your sig you have 75lbs..Would kinda be a pain but maybe you would noy have to remove all of it.
    Do you know who injured her???

    I'll bet you anything it was the coral beauty it's the most aggressive and it doesn't take well to new additions.

    Well I am right there with you...I bought a Bi-color Angel Sunday...Now covered with ick..gasping and hiding. I dont hold out much hope. I added a UV today, but probably too late.
