Clown fish help

So my wife went home for lunch today and noticed one of the clownfish jumped out of the tank. She quickly put him back in. After she got him back in one of the engineer gobies started to attack it. I am out of town right now but was able to talk her through fishing the clown fish out and put him in the back of a penguin filter where I had chaeto growing. (Took all the filter media out of it a while back). One fin seemed to be hurt from what she has told me but he is still moving. Once I get home this evening if he still seems hurt or sick I plan on moving him to a bucket with heater and pump for movement and hope that he recovers. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas at this point, or any idea why to gobies started to attack him. They have been in the same tank for almost 3 years. Never have had any issues with this.

He seemed to be doing alright so I put him back into the DT, I did notice this white line on him. Not sure what that is. I don't believe it to be ich but I want to make sure. Might just be a war wound from earlier.

a partial bite. How many fish are in your tank (tank info too)?



8 fish total, 2 crowns, 3 engineer gobies, flame angle, blue damsel, yellow tang CUC-emerald crabs, Nerite snails, hermit crabs and tuxedo urchin. 60g tank with skimmer. 0 nitrites 0 ammonia 15 nitrates 1.024 salinity. All of the fish have been living peacefully together for well over a year now. Water changes every week. He is back in and seems to be doing well, no issues other than that bite mark. He is back in his host home (behind the penguin filter).
