Maybe my crabs or peppermint shrimp. But I don't see them do it.

No he is a pig and his body looks clean

Maybe a disease from the inside

Maybe a disease from the inside

But the medicated food should have killed it

If it looks completely healed just jagged there’s a chance that may be his permanent state. If he’s eating well and healthy I wouldn’t stress over it. Just adds a little rugged charm! Hehe

i havnt been in the reefing world for very long so this might not even help but i had a yellow sail fin tangs tail get split and chewed up a little bit. no idea what did it but i ended up dosing vitamin C and M (vitamarin C, vitamarin M from brightwell) to the tank. within 2 weeks he or she was back to normal. roughly around 275 gallon system volume, i dosed 10-15ml each every 3 days, with a 40 gallon water change every week. i still dose roughly 10 ml of each every 3 days. not sure if this helps with disease but i havnt had any huge issues with anything. maybe this would help for a preventative measure and for good health?
