Firefish goby blood red fin

[Jake_the_reefer]

My firefish hasn't come out since I got him about a month ago. He came out today and his right fin is very red. Any ideas what this is? I have metroplex on hand if that will help whatever this is

Other inhabitants of the tank
Small baby clownfish
Yellow watchman goby.
hermit crabs
Skunk cleaner shrimp

Though I'm not sure how you would get the fish out to treat it - it looks like an injury and infection. Can you Give some more information? If you look at my signature, you can see a list of more questions that could be helpful to answer. Nice tank BTW

I don't see your signiture for some reason.

Would you be able to send a screenshot of the questions?
yeah, removing him to treat will involve destroying my rockwork.
I have metroplex and focus that I can spot feed. But that's about it
Also thank you! Can't wait to get more corals for the tank!

That looks like a bacterial issue - probably an injury from a rock or the clown.
Metro won’t really do much here, I’d be looking to use kanamycin (which you would want to use in a qt).

Metroplex/focus would likely not help this type of infection. You could try something like Ruby Rally pro. Assuming it does not negatively affect all of the other inverts in your tank (I don't know the list)

As these fish are bashful, they quickly dart into rocks and get injured. With this hemorrhaging, i would treat in a separate tank with seachem Neoplex

I'm going to monitor the situation. He came out today and the red has went down by about half
