Went to get the next fish on my list (a Coral Beauty Angel) tonight and picked one out at my LFS. It looked fine in the store lighting. Got it home and it has this funny white splotch on the side. It’s in quarantine now. Can anyone tell me what it is and (hopefully) what to do about it? Thank you!

Looks like an abrasion from the net or something. It might have just ran into some thing trying to avoid getting caught. I dont have good luck with treating fish so somone else should probably advise on that. But it doesnt look that bad so it will probably heal up quick if it eating well and not under a lot of stress.
