Today I did my maintenance on my tank. As usual all the fish hid.. I went back to my tank after a while and one fish was missing. I finally found him hiding under some rock. A little while later the same fish was still under the rock.. normally this fish doesn’t hide that long.

Finally, I decided to lift the rock out he came.. of course he went and hid someplace else. When I finally saw him swimming again I went and looked him over.

His right side was the side against the rock When he was stuck under it. You can see he rubbed him self pretty ruff.

Hopefully he will recover but never had a fish get like this. Should I do anything to help it, or just let him be?

He is eating Algae off rocks.

Fish looks fat and healthy. Just keep an eye on the area for white filmy or red sores developing. Do you have Ruby Reef Rally. Works great in a 60-90 minute bath to help with infection.

No, Don't have that medication on hand. Worse things is all the stores are closed normally on Mondays and they are shut down Christmas Eve and Day. So Foxy needs to hang on till after Christmas.

Yes, he was/is very fat and healthy prior to this.
