10 year old clownfish stuck on filter

Hey guys I have had two clowns for at least ten years now. I moved them into a much bigger tank 29g to 125g about two years ago and have a sump filter but made the mistake of also using a canister with its original intake. My bigger clown got stuck probably for longer then I am happy to admit but I got him free and he is swimming okay just does seem weaker. Also I noticed his side has a bit of inflammation and looks swollen almost like his side was sucked to long. I need any advice possible on treatment for him and any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. I appreciate all your help and forgive my quickly spun up post.

I probably wouldn't do anything right now; but I'd closely watch the area for signs of infection.  Here's a helpful resource:
