nipping on ------ fins

I have a 125 with a 3 inch Porc Puffer, 2 inch spotted puffer, 2 inch Niger, 8 inch SFE. I feed them every other day, 1 piece of Krill, the porc puffer eats all of it right away. and a piece of frozed food, dime sized made of squid, shrimp, octipus, oysters. The other fish eat this right away. I noticed today that the top fin on the Niger looks to be nibbled on, I see the SFE close to it once in a while.
Who is most likely the culprit. Do I need to feed them more often?

:happyfish Hi, it's probably the other puffer. They are nippers, they can't seem to help it. If the other puffer is bigger, then he probably is trying to kill him. I've seen it time and time again. Is what I do is put up a plastic tank divider, and put the suspected culpret on the other side and if his fins get better, you know it's him. You never know though it could be any of them. I've even seen a damsel tare apart a triggers fins. Try my experiment and see how it goes. Hope I was of some help thats just what I would do. :happyfish oh you have a n i g e r - that could be it too. I think they are the nastiest of the triggers personally. Who knows.

My guess would be the porcupine puffer, but I am kinda surprised the trigger has chewed fins... they are normally the nippers.
