White scar on royal gramma

[Shibaken3]

Here's a video and a photo. in QT for 1 week and saw this white circle scar. QT with longnose hawk, lawnmower, blue goby, and yasha goby. Not sure what is causing this scar. Any advice is appreciated.

Could have gotten bitten by the LN hawk or the lawnmower. It doesn't look serious, but keep an eye on it for reddening, turning white or enlarging.

This species is prone to gill flukes, so you'll want to give it a comprehensive quarantine protocol.

Yes - Prazipro works pretty well. Dose it 2x, 8 days apart, with good aeration.
