Sore on Clown Fish Advice Needed

[aarbutina]

Here everyone, I just noticed what looks like a sore or a cut on one of my clowns (see photo). I am thinking it is possible that she got jabbed by a spine on my foxface. There is a distinct cut in the center of the dark patch. And the dark area is slightly raised. She is currently not displayed my any signs of distress. But if I need to do something I don’t want to wait until it is too late. I am hoping that someone by be able to provide some recommendations on course of action. Thanks.

It does look like a puncture mark.

If you can catch her easily, a MB bath wouldn't be a bad idea: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/methylene-blue.257467/

Agreed.

Foxface stings can be lethal to fish, which is of course the point.

I’d like to know if you have acriflavine (for a bath) and metroplex, kanaplex, and furan 2 just in case it becomes infected? If not, I’d have them and a QT on hand.

Thanks for the replies. She should be easy to catch if I do it in the morning. He sleeps in the upper corner of the tank by the over flow. I’ll pick up some methylblue. Hopefully I can get it quick enough. I also have both metro and Kana on hand if that is needed as well
