I have this pair of snowflake for almost 10 months. My DT is disease free so there should be no ick/velvet present.

Yesterday during work I couldn't find my big clown from webcamera. Later the day I started to see her out from the camera. It was too late to check the fish in person yesterday. And I found a deep and huge laceration on one side of my clown today. Attached is the bigger clown (about 2.5 to 3 inches) who has the cut on her side gill plate. Maybe it is from PBT or Hippo, but they never showed aggression to the clown. Only thing I can think of was during the feeding time, those two tangs swim like torpedo chasing the pellet and food and slapped my clown's on the face...

Current fish list :
Formosa Wrasse (4 to 5 inches)
Powder Blue (3.5 inches)
Hippo tang (3.5 inches)
Midas blenny
two snowflake clown

She is eating and active today. Still fat and I didn't see any infection at this point. But for precaution, what can I do to treat the cut?

I am thinking of doing 90 min Acriflavine MS bath and put her back to DT. I can setup another QT and treat her only but I don't see the point of doing it right now.
