bite mark or something else?

[boonz]

Hi - Hoping someone could help me id if these are bite marks or something else I need to treat for. I have been noticing the red fin ruby wrasse harassing my flasher wrasse today. Previously the flasher wrasse was the aggressor, but that switched today where the redfin has been the aggressor. Enough to the point I needed to isolate the flasher to protect him.

As for the tail spot blenny, he's been chased a bit in previous month, but didn't see anyone nip at him and thought it to be harmless.

Looks like an injury which is starting heal. Keep an eye on it for improvement and not becoming sore or infected. If so, treatment in a different tank will be seachem Kanaplex

Does look like a bite or maybe scratch from the rock since they spend a lot of their time in the rock

Thanks for feedback. Hoping that's all it is. Was worried since both had some abnormal markings out of nowhere recently.

I did have another flash and banggai die mysteriously out of nowhere about 3 or so months back so just wanted to make sure it wasn't some type of parasite.

Some additional details I missed in first post.
