beaten up fiji tomato clown

The newest addition to my tank is a fiji tomato clown. She was beaten up by the black and white damsel (whom is no longer in the tank - removed as soon as I noticed he was beating on her).

Is there anything that I should be adding to the tank to help her recover?

She's doing ok and eating fine. She just looks beaten up. I just want to make sure that she gets back to health.

Should I add anything or, should I just let it take it's own course?

I always soak my food in garlic and vitamins to bolster my critters immune systems. Some people believe that garlic has natural antibiotic properties. I don't know if there is any truth to this for fish but if it does this could also help to prevent secondary infections while your clown is healing. Other than this I would not add anything unless you see an infection developing.

I believe that garlic contains sulfur-containing compounds, allicin and sulfides i think. I believe it helps the white cell count that helps fight germs. But that is by far a scientific explanation just thought i would threw that in there why i was thinking about it lol
