As the title states, my lyretail anthias must have got into a fight and it appears it has a broken pectoral fin. I know nipped fins heal fairly fast but was wondering if the broken pectoral fin will heal itself? Thanks in advance.
 
A pic would help. Do you know who it was fighting with? As long as aggression doesn't continue and the injury doesn't get infected it should be fine.
 
I will try and capture a pic. Currently the fish has taken shelter under a chalice and has been there for several hours. I did not witness the fighting but the fish has discoloration (bruising) to the side right above the fin and the fin appears to be broken ( fin just hanging) and the fish is unable to use it. Fish still appears to be strong. When I tried to catch it to place into QT it was still very fast but unable to use the left pectoral fin. I suspect it was fighting with my Flame Angel.

Well my lights just came on for the day and I'm sad to report the Anthias did not make it through the night. Had it for almost 2 years. RIP little buddy.
