That very unusual for Clowns to do that, what sort of damage is it?
It could be fin rot or something like that. Why dont you try putting food at both ends of the tank so to keep them seperated. Also, How much and what are you feeding them?

Get some sinking pellets or some other kind of sinking food and feed at both ends of the tank and see how they get on, Make sure you give them plenty of hiding places. How long do you have them? If they are only new they could be settling in.
