What happened to my kole tang!

[Flynsqwirl]

I've had a kole tang alone in a qt tank for 5 months and I added a long nose hawk fish that I think ate my dart fish recently. I put the tang in my display tank a week ago and now I see these big spots that looks like a bit mark, does it look like somthing else?

No but this hawk fish has been picking on my coris wrasse and seems to ne the bully and my dart fish went Mia 2 days after adding the hawk, my tang has another small mark on the other side of him.

Any signs of ich or disease? Fish may be flashing

Looks like a nick. Do nothing as saltwater fish tend to heal quickly but assure water quality is good.
Melafix is a good healing aid for such wounds

Have you got a blenny, could be a blenny love bite?

Do you have a pair of clowns? Mine gets into it with my female clown. The marks look precisely like that. The exact size and shape of a clown mouth.

If that’s it, it’s nothing to worry about. Will heal in 2-3 days.
