One could die, its happened. Anyway you could remove one to a small tank?

i could move one to my juvie tank, they are much smaller only 3 inches or so. don't you think it would disrupted their space?

I'm sure it will, better to get a divider.

Without pictures it is tough to assess the amount of damage. A lost scale or two probably isn't going to harm a healthy, mature fish. I think people react a bit too quickly sometimes and make things worse by immediately removing one and disrupting things further. If you think the two fish are physically OK, I'd wait it out a bit. They may resolve the issue on their own in a day or two.
