Bite mark on wrasse or bacterial infection?

[Oceanreef]

This sudden mark appeared on my Multicolered wrasse today, is it a bite? He’s been pestering my Ocellaris Clown over territory

Pic is blurry, but looks like it might just be a missing/damaged scale.

That’s what I thought too! So just watch it?
Thanks Humblefish I really respect your expertise

Yeah, I would just keep an eye on it for now. Soak the fish food with a vitamin supplement. If it starts turning red, perform an acriflavine bath and treat with antibiotics in QT.

Will do! I supplement with Selcon, I have Ruby Reef Rally in hand
Thanks again

Looks like battle damage to me. If the fish is eating and otherwise behaving normally, I would just observe for now.

I don't think I've ever seen a Lubbock's fairy wrasse that _didn't_ have a few of those pink "missing scales". Keep half an eye, but I wouldn't worry terribly.
