Default Beat up clown

I came home last night only to find that one of my rocks had shifted and pinned my clown into a very small space. He must have been struggling to get out and got extremely stressed and eventually gave up. From then on I think he was attached by some of my cleaning crew. His fins are all chewed up, as are some of the scales on his body. Actually when we found him we thought he was dead.

I've put him in a separate tank, where he is all alone to recover, are there any meds or vitamins we should be giving him to increase his chances?

Thanks

Vitamins are necessary all of the time, even for the main tank. You may try vitamins and garlic soaked in the food, assuming he is well enough to eat. I would also try using melafix or maracyn if you have any.
