Picked up this little gem. The first 2 days were rough, the springer was going after her. She's settled in a cave and is swimming freely around it now. The springer seems to have lost interest thankfully. Her tail is beat up but she's all colored up nice and eating fine. I've had several over the years, one of my favorite fish to keep. Colorful, active and in my experience peaceful for a damsel.

Can someone help identify that pale spot down low towards the back fin? This little guy has definitely been treated as the smaller male as our two clowns have aged. The “female” is nice for a week, then nasty for a week, etc.

Just noticed this spot and I’m wondering if it’s just a touch of damage or if he’s in danger here.

Lost one of my clowns, only had him for 2 weeks. Seemed to get along perfectly with the other… always swam together, they were inseparable. But I noticed the other day his fins were being nipped. I’m suspecting it was happening at night since I never saw any negative behavior during the day. Debating getting another if my surviving one is a bully, any tips or advice?
