Any patches or spots on the skin or fins? Could be brook infestation or ich if it is scraping itself against objects. Since it is being chased there's a good chance it is stressed and weak. That's assuming your water parameters are okay, cos clowns behave erratically when there's an ammonia or nitrite spike too from my own observation.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

see/google brook aka clownfish disease.

see if the dorsal fin is down, i presumed its most likely down from that kind of situation.

if its down, act fast or else u will be going to lose it.

in the meantime, trap the bullies or the percula.

all the best.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Remove it or the bully before it's too late.

I have experience the fighting between percula and tomato clown before. Like what you did, I introduce the tomato clown after the percula. Initially the percular was chasing the tomato upside down. The tomato was injured and grow white spot. Suprisingly after a few days, it became the other way. My percula was being chased and injured, hiding at one corner so I remove the tomato from the tank and it was ok.

Maybe you want to try removing the tomato too?
