Injured Cherub/Crazy Clown (HELP!!)

Nothing new added and no changes to the tank. The cherub has black marks on both sides and his left fin is chewed up pretty badly (he is definitely having trouble adjusting to that). My larger clown suddenly seems to be going after him but only every few times they cross paths, but as of this morning they were all pals.

Should I wait and see how it plays out or take action? The cherub is my favorite fish.

I would say wait it out but just keep a eye on them to make sure it don't get too bad. Had trouble with a pair of maroons were they would pick on anything I would put on in the tank for a day or so then became best friends
 
I hope you are right, but they have all been together since February. Could this be spawning behavior? I'd be surprised because my clowns are still very small.
 
I would feel that when I touch the water, right? Also, I'm grounded right to the main circuit box, so I sort of don't think so, but I had no idea that was a possible effect of stray current (makes sense though).
 
thanks guys. Never thought of that. I hope the little guy makes it through the day so I can try this tonight. He really seems pretty active and fast swimming, but he definitely has a Nemo fin now. I can tell that my clowns have started hosting in my leather which is right in the middle of the tank so the cherub doesn't have anywhere to go that is safe (He fights back though). I also noticed that the larger (Mean) clown is really fat right in her belly. Is it possible that they are going to spawn? I obviously don't know how old they are but they are about twice as big as they were when I got them.
 
I got a Cherub angel from MCF last Friday and my black/white clown started bullying him. So the clown got put in the 10 gallon dunce tank in the basement for a week for re-education. My Royal Gramma did a couple of mouth stretches towards him but that was it. This Cherub is tiny too. Like 1 inch.
