transferred two of my clowns to the new tank and not sure if the new environment had any play with this, but one started really beating up on the other (never did this before). His mouth is slightly busted open and I removed the other clown. Offered pe mysis and it looked like he wanted to eat, but couldn't (he might be though and I am not seeing him).

Do clowns typically make full recoveries from an injury like this/ how long could they be ok without being able to take in food? (hopefully it heals quickly)

It's a percula
 
First of all need a picture to see how bad it is. Secondly I would treat with both Pimafix and Melafix. Both are reef safe and will treat the infection and promote healing. Fish heal pretty quickly. Also offer something smaller to eat like cyclopeze or something similar. Even try small NLS pellets
