    This purple fire fish is a quick bugger and likes to spend time in his cave. So, the pic quality is garbage but is this fin rot or something concerning??

    Not really. I have two clowns and two emerald crabs. Maybe there was a bit of a dispute over a cave between him and one of the crabs.

    I have had an emerald actually kill a fish before. Not sure if it was intentional or not but it did happen. You couldn't deny the fact that it looked pinched to death almost in half. It was over a similar situation involving a cave.
