Foxface has a wound

[Reef Wizard]

If you get a moment please take a look at this wound on my foxface. No urchin or Nems in tank just LPS that could sting. So I believe it to be aggression or scrape.

It doesnt appear red. Would I need to seperate into another tank even though it isnt red? I do have kanaplex. Just hate moving this fish as he gets crazy erratic when net goes in lol

This is damage either from coral or tail strike from a tang and should heal on its own but if it become red or sore, treat in a separate tank using Seachem Kanaplex

If it’s growing larger, then I think it is infected. I would use Neoplex in a treatment tank.

It has gotten smaller this morning.

Less exposed white flesh still doesnt appear red.


I will continue to monitor and keep these things in mind. I have a treatment tank on standby
