Help With Gold Band Marron
Hello everyone, I just noticed today that my gold band marroon clown has his fins cut up like he was attacked by something, his hosting a bubble coral and he's been in my tank for a couple of weeks now, do you think the bubble coral is hurting him?. Right now I have 4 damsels which keep to themselves, 3 yellow tangs 1 blue hippo plus 2 cleaning shrimps and 2 camels, anyone has any idea?

Could be about any of them. Damsels and tangs are territorial, as well as the maroon.

How big is he? I know none of my tangs would dare mess with my female maroon, but she's pretty big.

I would bet its the damsels, you may want to remove them as they can be very aggressive.

Every couple of weeks my Maroon has the same thing. There are no other fish in my tank that would mess with him. In fact I'm a little afraid to put my hands in the tank sometimes. If he doesn't like the way I set up the rocks he will push them over. He can be very aggressive. I am guessing that he is doing it to himself. Maybe scraping against a rock when he is cuddling up to his RBTA.
At first I thought it was tail rot but no other fish ever gets it and he eats fine and it goes away after awhile.
