coral beauty angel

[Maverick00]

Ive had this fish for over a year now but she isnt looking to good these days. Ive noticed part of her tail is missing and one of her fins has a chunk taken out of it. It appears shes still in good spirits and is still eating but swims erratically and looks troubled. The only thing i can think of is she may be getting attacked by the emerald crab i bought to try and control bubble algae a few months ago. Perhaps at night when shes hiding in the rock to sleep? Any ideas? Should i try and catch this emerald crab and throw it in the sump for now?

I think you might be right MMAX, I was watching the tank as close as i could the last 24hrs and the angel keeps hovering around where the clown tend to just chill out. I did witness a couple nips from the female clown which appeared to be the gesture (F*&^ O^%). Without a quarantine tank im not sure what i can really do other than just wait it out. Hopefully its settles down.
