Any help would be appreciated....I recently noticed an injured bottom lip on one of my lyretail anthias. I currently have 2 other lyretail anthias's that are just fine along with 4 other clownfishs, a blue hippo tang and a midas goby. All the other fishes are fine and all the fishes are eating. This evening's feeding I included seachem metroplex, any help will greatly be appreciated.

So this fish is feeding normally? Any idea how this happened? Other than giving it time to heal, the only option would be to treat with an antibiotic for secondary infection.

Yes, eating just fine. There is a peppermint shrimp in there that the lyretail anthias keeps going by but I could not see how a shrimp could do that damage but other than that no idea. I will just keep dosing the seachem metroplex just incase.
Thank you for your quick reply
