Not sure what this is!

Hello everyone,

I just got this harlequin tusk today, it has something on the right fin. It doesn’t come off easily so I don’t think it’s debris. I tried my best to shoot a video. Any idea what this is? Any help is much appreciated!

Hi - Can you post to Youtube - and then link here - many cannot see the video. Is the fish in quarantine? Any medications? Any other symptoms?

Its a gash similar to what mine gets occasionally as they spook easily. They also heal quickly but keep an eye on it for healing and not getting sore.

Thanks for pointing that out, here is a link
The tusk is in my display, and it’s not showing obvious sign of stress. There is no medication either.

Thanks! Good to know, I’ll continue monitoring its condition
