Injury (I hope)?

[Crashjack]

I can never get good pics with my phone but there is a mark on my C. Lineatus wrasse that looks to me like a scrape. It wouldn't be surprising as when we released my C. Exquisitius wrasse, we somehow missed the opening of the acclimation box, and the Exquisitius went straight into the DT. At first, the Lineatus pestered the Exquisitius and then the Exquisitius turned the tables. Things have calmed down for the most part now, but this all just started 3 days ago. The Lineatus is eating fine, but there is an obvious mark. Is this just an injury or something worse?

Likely an injury from what I can see.

Keep an eye on it, a secondary bacterial infection is possible. If it were me, I would have a QT ready and antibiotics on hand JIC.

Do you supplement food with selcon or Vita chem etc? This may help him heal.

Hard to tell, but I agree an injury is likely

Thanks guys. Also, I do feed Selcon 3-4 times per week.
