Anyone have any recommendations for a large bristletooth tang with an abrasion/scrape on his side?? Anything I can do or add into the tank to help speed up or boost his recovery? He is still very active but I haven't seen him eat. I just picked him up today and the store gave me a small discount due to small scrape on this side. He in no way looks like he is stressing from it. I just want to make sure it gets better and not worse. Anyone know what I should try and feed him too? I've tried mysis shrimp, krill, seaweed nori, flakes, pellets, emerald entree. I know he's still new to my tank today, but what should I be feeding him? He's very fat and healthy :) besides his cut. I'll be posting pics tomorrow if I can get some
 
Scrape will heal on its own, wont' take long.
Feeding: Nori Sheets, Algae Sheets, Dried Seaweed
 
Agreed. Just keep an eye on the scrape.. watch for infection. Feeding lots of healthy food soaked in vitamins like Selcon or Vitachem should help boost his immune system and help him heal on his own.
