Hippo tang injury?

[Qasimja]

After my yellow tang died out of nowhere everything has me nervous today my blue hippo has this white area on its side anything I need to be worried about? He does sleep wedged in the rocks so I believe it's a scratch

He moves fast I'll try to get better shots if you can't make it from these

+1 on pic quality.
Does it look like a scrape or gash ?
Is it fleshy, slimy or fuzzy?

One thing great about saltwater is a fishs' ability to heal quickly and if a scrape, will heal quickly. You can assist healing and reduce chance of infection by simple use of Melafix (sold at petsmart)
