Small clown bleeding? :(

HI i have two ocellaris clowns in a 55 gallon tank with an ornate wrasse. This afternoon when i came home i noticed the smaller of the pair is keeping his mouth open. and it looks like there is a tiny amount of blood in his nose. Has anyone experience this? What should i do. Alll water parameters are fine. I have a bubble coral and a anchor coral and a bta in there as well.

He probably darted and smashed his face aginst the glass or rock.

Keep an eye on him and if the wound gets infected, treat him in a QT with antibiotics.

My male clown's lips occasionally look bad from cleaning of the rocks for eggs.

Yeah my tomato has a habit of getting a little too excited playing with my frogspawn and he'll turn quick and bump into a rock. Silly thing. Of course he goes right back to the frogspawn.
