fin problem with my common clown

[stevercleeze]

can anyone help me with my clown? she is now desperately asking my coral banded to give her a cleaning cuz she is having some kind of problem with her pectoral fin. over the last couple of days she has begun barely using her left pectoral fin and it is showing sings of some kind of problem, worn looking, smaller than right side, less movement. i have a pair of them and they have been eating fine(flake and mysis). there is no visible ich or that velvet disease. oh and very rapid breathing. i fear the worst for her.

How long have you had it? I'd suggest removing it to a QT tank ASAP.

ive had it a month and im trying to catch it now. what a effin pain to catch a fish in a reef.

You can use a glass bowl, it doesn't seem like they see it, or you could sneak up on it at night time when its sleeping.

or both

I suspect that the coral banded may have gotten to her. They can and do catch fish and eat them. It may have beaten her up enough to stress her to death. Just a thought.

Sorry for your loss.
