Wondering if you can help Id what has gone on here? Is it a battle wound? Or something more? Randomly has popped up over night. Sorry about all the micro bubbles

Your a superstar thanks for that, it appeared over night so made me believe it was a wound.See the ring? Bacteria often grow around a lesion and form rings like that. It could have begun as a simple wound that got infected. If the ring doesn't get larger, then it may just go away on its own. However, if the bacteria keep growing, you'll need to move the fish to a treatment tank and dose with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic - there really isn't any effective in-tank treatment for this sort of thing.

What other fish are in with him?Anyone??
Copperband Butterfly, clownfish, royal gamma, chromis.What other fish are in with him?
Has also had a wound on the other side that healed up believe its from when he wedges himself between rocks to sleep.Hmm, no real territorial types to inflict such damage.
That’s what the Black Knight said..Looking like a small flesh wound now and looks clean doesn't look infected, but no professional. Happy eating and swimming normal/breathing. Fingers crossed.
I’m no fish expert but I’ve used metroplex and focus with food, but I was very consistent to feed every single day for 15 days with that food and all my fish healed up from a similar issue. Also make sure he gets enough seaweed to be well fed while he is healing up.Has also had a wound on the other side that healed up believe its from when he wedges himself between rocks to sleep.
Catching it is another thing without tearing down my rockscape. Extremely sleek and quick. Has nori every day.I agree with bacterial and suggest assurance of god water quality and diet as well as treatment using ruby rally pro, or 90 minute Rally pro baths
Best to capture at night when tank dark as they generally favor certain rock for hidingCatching it is another thing without tearing down my rockscape. Extremely sleek and quick. Has nori every day.
Unfortunately its right under a rock overhang and not even my hand would fit there. Have to block of its area but again dont want to stress it out to muchBest to capture at night when tank dark as they generally favor certain rock for hiding
