Maroon Clown with torn fins

My wife and I have a maroon clown that has been in the tank for two months. Up until last week, he was doing very well, ate like crazy, looked healthy. Last week my wife and I added a flame angel, who is roughly the same size as the clown. The clown now has tears in multiple fins. Could it be the angel harassing him?

possible.. does the clown typically defend a small territory within the tank,,if so it may be the result of small battles.
this however, s/b something you can witness during the viewing hours.

I had a flame angel that loved to attack my maroon clown. He even chased after my niger triggerfish who was 3 times his size. They are quite aggressive.
