Default Agressive Firefish! Help!

I introduced 3 firefish into my tank and 2 seem to have become a mated pair while the third has become an outcast. He has lost fins and tails and they have regrown and been lost again etc. etc. I am worried about him and tried to get him out to bring him back to my local fish store but he has so many nooks and crannies in my live rock and coral he can dodge the net easily. I am worried he will jump out or become scared into hiding and wont come to eat or will be bullied to death. Any help? Should I put in another firefish or will this risk another fish becoming an outcast? I thought another firefish would be my best bet. Ideas?

Thank you,
Alex

Default Re: Agressive Firefish! Help!

When Igot my firefish the lfs said that they do good in numbers of 3 or less, They only had 2 in stock, I got them and 1 did not make it, i think it was sold to me with ick, anyhow now I have 1 Ive been debating for a couple of weeks, My firefish is starting to come out alot more ( i think it thinks its percula clown lol) seems to school with them alot. I want to add another firefish, Do you think that my other firefish(1) will accept it?
