Clown Tang Injury

[mdavi]

My lionfish and clown tang were kinda stuck in my tangs favorite corner. I have now moved him to QT but he isn't looking too hot. He is pretty scratched/tore up and slightly lethargic. Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and what they did.

He is breathing ok right now. He was definitely in shock earlier. Still a little lethargic but since being removed and place in QT seems to have "perked up" a little. I think I'm more frazzled now than he is

Is there a fish it is fighting with? Looks like aggression injury or bite marks (pics a little fuzzy to confirm)
It appears moribund or getting tp that point as it seems to be laying down in pics which is not a good sign. I can assume its Not eating at this time ?

Hasn't been fighting with anyone. He did however get stuck up on my lionfish. He was trying to move forward and back but was I guess you'd say pinned. It was the way I took the picture. He is staying towards bottom but is actively swimming. I'll see if I can get better pic

Sounds like lionfish sting.
Best treatment will be Neoplex by Seachem.

That's what I was worried about. He has had me stressing today and he's a brat anyways and likes to "play" dead since day 1 so I always am panicking and more so now. Ty vetteguy53081
