Anthia's mouth damaged

[amps]

Hey again,

I have 5 dispar anthias in QT, they've been there for a week. One of them looks like his jaw is damaged.

It look almost like the skin around his mouth got stretched out and now he has extra flaps on either side of his mouth. Is there a general purpose medicine or antibiotic I should add to the tank to help him heal? I just dosed the tank with Prazipro this morning so it needs to be compatible with that. Here's the best picture I could find, he's the one in the middle:

could just be damage from hitting it on something, poor shipping, or a scuffle with another fish. You can try for an antibiotic to keep it from being infected..... kanaplex would be a good one or furan2. But they wont help it heal back to it's normal position. It's just going to take time to see how it heals up and if he can still use his mouth. Is it eating still?

I'm gonna try some Kanaplex tomorrow then. He's eating BBS though he doesn't seem to be going after the mysis the way the other 4 are.

If he eats I wouldn't lose too much sleep. Hopefully time will heal!
