Tail Fin Damage to my Royal

[reefgeeker]

I recently have put into my 29 gal. reef tank a royal gramma. I have a clown and a 6 line that live in complete harmony with eachother, but with the recent addition both have been chasing and nipping at the royal gramma from time to time. Because of this the gramma has expierenced what I would note as mild tail fin damage. He is eating fine and seems to have a great attitude and is enjoying a nice cubby hole in the live rock from time to time. I am wondering if this is something to worry about or is it something that just happens when new tenants are added to an aqarium for the first bit of time.

Nipping can happen, I have seen royals with tails missing entirely so give it some time. They are pretty capable of taking care of itself. Look closely, they have some massive choppers in that mouth (the fins grow back pretty quick)
