Hey folks! I tend to be more “conservative” when it comes to injuries in my reef. My flame wrasse recently got into a tussle with a newly added female lineatus, and lost. Most of the wounds are superficial, but there is one deeper bite on his tail that I’d love a second opinion on.
Eating, breathing normal. No white discoloration, a tiny hint of red just in the center of the wound. It’s a bit more noticeable in person than in photos... wound is a couple of days old. Lineatus has been temporarily(maybe) relocated.
I’ve considered everything from leaving alone completely and feeding well- in hopes it will heal on it’s own, catching for an MB bath and a swab of neosporin then putting back in the tank, and catching and putting in QT for preventative antibiotics.
So WWYD? He’s my favorite fish, so I might be a little over-protective...#reefsquad
