Default Help!!!!

I have a 75gal fish only tank 2 maroon and gold clowns, sailfin tang, coral beauty angel, picasso trigger, orange tail puffer, and a snowflake eel. part of the clowns tangs and angles fins are missing small half moon shapes i do not think it is the puffer him and the tang are like best friends and the trigger is much smaller than the other fish. WHAT COULD IT BE??? I already took back the Volitan Lion because I tought he was the problem.
thanks

My bet is the picasso trigger, or the eel. Those two should not be kept with the other fish in your tank.

I would think the trigger or the eel as well, even though the trigger is smaller, they can be super aggresive. Most will bite first and ask quesions later. I once saw one bite a heater in a lfs. It just so happened to be feeding time after the heater attack, let me tell you, this thing ate a feeder goldfish almost the same size as itself in a matter of minutes. Nothing but scales and a few bones left.
