injured

Good day everyone, I haven’t found much about treating eels that become injured. I believe there may have been a squabble for a piece of food and the snowflake was bitten on the top of his head by the tessalata, barely missing his eyes, imagine a bonnet, that’s what it looks like. It is red and...

I bought a foxface that looks like it banged its lips up on the glass pretty hard and the skin tore abit. Its nothing serious that i can see. Unfortunately every foxface had abit of their lip skin torn. Im guessing either happened when in the exporter or in the lfs. The fish just arrived...

My sailfin was fine this morning, and I come home and his lip is hurt, Popeye in one eye, and not swimming properly. I don’t know what to do in this situation, please help!

My Mimic Tang has been in quarantine with no other fish for 20 days without any treatments. Today my Mimic Tang appears to have an extended mouth or an infection. Still chases after food and remains active. Any thoughts?

I don’t think this is an emergency, but one of my clownfish has a white spot on his side..looks like an injury? Skin peel? Not sure, there’s a good photo attached. What is it? There are no other spots on him or my other clown.. He’s not acting weird, and eating fine.

Hi all, Yesterday I received my first small tridacna maxima. A beautiful shy thing at first. The first few hours it was doing fine. It was acclimated for just over an hour using the traditional drip. I inspected it looking for things that resembled grains of sand like organisms. I admit...

Last night I noticed that my Coral Beauty Angel Fish has one eye that is swollen and looks as if it is going to pop out. It is cloudy and looks like a cloudy white slime is over it. I did a 5 gal WC last night. It seems that it wouldn't be Popeye because it is only one eye. I just got home...

Last night I was tinkering with my skimmer after lights out and I must’ve startled my Tomini Tang because he took a flying LEAP out of my tank - I don’t mean he causally hoisted himself over the side I mean he took flight. It was so fast that all I heard was a splash and then wild flapping...

Hello, I’ve got an 18” snowflake eel, who seems quite healthy, except for something that looks kinda like a tumor on the roof of her mouth. Seems to be growing. Still eating and doesn’t seem to have changed behavior. Anyone know if there’s anything I can or should do?

Got a new Coral Beauty Friday evening and I broke every cardinal new fish rule that reefers follow and I’ve learned my lesson. Idiot mistake #1 - Fish had just been received the day prior and I asked to see it feed. They put some mysis in and the CB went after it with gusto but immediately spit...

My wife’s male Ruby Red Dragonet, Rubicon, has a large bruise under his chin following a water change. He’s breathing rapidly, lethargic, and disinterested in food. She noticed a couple hours ago that he was just resting under the bridge of her rock-work, not chasing food or dancing with his...

While trying to move an emerald crab to a different tank, I tried to pushed him off the rock with forceps. In the process, I accidentally hit his claw pretty hard against the rock. When I finally got him moved, I looked closer and saw that his claw seems to be dislocated and he keeps grabbing at...
