Hello I bought 2 small clown fish and I noticed one has little shape difference from the the other one. It seems the lower finn are cut.
The fish shop owner said it not as issue and the finn will grow again. It is something I need to worry about?

The fin will most likely grow back, it does not look infected. However, clownfish often fight, so make sure these two fish are getting along well.
Watch for new fin damage, the fish not eating, stringy feces, swimming poorly or rapid breathing - those are all issues we see in new clownfish.

First - thanks for the circle on the picture. I will go with Jay - in the sense that 'time heals all wounds'.
