Injured Midas Blenny

[_cpate3_]

Hello all! It’s been a while since is posted on here since all has been going well with the tank! I’ve had this Midas blenny about 3 years now with the same tank mates, and it had some bad fin damage a few (5-ish) days ago. I did the recommended 3 day rally pro dosing and the surrounding area still appears white. Behavior is still normal very active swimmer. Eating frozen food like normal. Are these just dead scales, or is there an infection? And what should be my next steps?

This open wound should be treated in a separate tank using Seachem Neoplex and keep an eye on Ammonia level

Thank you! What about binding it with food? It’s impossible to catch and always stays in its rocks even if you take the rock out of water (I’ve moved like 6 times and have never once caught this fish). Like I said it’s eating a lot and still very active

Do not add meds to food especially if its metro which has to be precise by weight
