Lonely Clown Fish

I have 5 clowns which have been together since day one. One of my clowns is smaller and gets picked on by the rest. I need to feed him sepreately. When feeding him I realized his fins are clear and not black tiped. Has anybody seen this? Is it a disease of some kind? The clown fish is definately smaller than the rest. :help:

In the wild they live in a community revolving around a host anemone. There is a dominate female, her mate, and other fish that get picked on and dont mature. If the large male dies the female picks a new mate from the immature group, if the dominate female dies, the male turns into a female and picks a mate. All but the two main fish remain immature and may not develope adult coloration.
