I'm not sure why dotybacks are often called great "starter" fish as I've heard horror stories before.

In regards to feelings, it sounds like you have it unde control, so it's about getting the right fish mix in th tank and you're set.
I'd personally get rid of the angel and dotty and look into getting peaceful fish only
Another problem is also just pure fish behavior... Some fish can be model citizens and the same fish in someone elses tank can be just a plain pain in the ass regardless...

Also clowns can be quite aggressive what type of clown is it? Some clowns can be quite aggressive as well. It is a possibility to get them slightly less aggressive if they are paired, however they will always be overprotective towards thir so called home. I have a black ocellaris pair and they both attack and bite me if I go close to their anemone.

Honestly if I could catch these fish I'd trade 'em for some quieter ones. I have an ocellaris pair. The older is a nasty little jerkface. The younger didn't have much personality other than the older ones shadow for 8 months, all of a sudden the truth comes out!

Time will heal the wounds there is no need for melafix. Also while melafix works wonders for FW fish it killed my SW fish, and I used the melafix for SW.

I've made the decision to remove all 4 boogers and replace them with something peaceful. Anyone wanna lend me a fish trap?

Use the bottle trick. Should be good enough.

I think my fish are too big to fit in a bottle trap...
