To set the preface of the story: I have had my tank set up for a couple years now, but haven't had any fish in it for a few months; just a couple peppermint shrimp and a flame lobster. I was ready to stock the tank again, so i went to my LFS yesterday and picked up a juvenile Clown Sweetlips. It was doing great last night, even eating live brine shrimp. I woke up this morning to find it missing its tail fin and it's fins tattered. I assume it was the flame lobster, so i got rid of it immediately. My question is this: Will the sweetlips grow its tail fin back? Is there anything i should do to speed/aid it's recovery?
Here are some before/after pics of the sweetlips.
