Yellow coris wrasse beak is white?

[Zeal]

Title. I got this fish today. Was healthy but then noticed his beak turned white as the day went on. She seems fine. Getting along so everyone in the tank swimming around peking at rocks and what not

not sure if I should worry or not...

does the fish eat alright? and does the white look like a growth, or just tissue turning? hard to see from photo here.

Sppears to ne pidt injury- should heal on its own.
Melafix would aid in the healing process

Did you add to tank w/o quarantine? If you can, strongly suggest you set up a quarantine tank for this guy, and all others you plan to add in the future so you don't risk the fish spread and killing any of your existing fish.

Sadly I did not. I don’t have a QT system as yet. Kinda don’t have a place to put it and leave it running forver
