The larger of my two Clownfish has always been a jerk. Often chases away other fish who come near their corner of the tank. Noticed a pretty big gash on her body today. Looks like she got into it with one of the larger tangs. So far still acting normal.

The females are always rude for no reason! I hope she recovers!

Sometimes clownfish can be like this, if you get an especially big and angry one, their temperament can't really be adjusted and they usually need special placement treatment such as going into your frag tank to be the big boss :)
