might be from banging his mouth on the bag... if he's eating, it should heal in a week or two...

this is very true.. i ahve seen alot of wrasses do this and if your water quality is good and it is eating it should get better

Doesn't seem to be a problem- but observe closely and update us with any abnormal behavior
