Internal bleeding? coral beauty

[pufferenthusiast]

I just noticed this today and my coral beauty had been acting fine the day before. Can anyone identify what may have happened? I have used vodka to euthanize due to the severity and inability to swim. No signs of aggression in the tank other than the other fish picking on it when it was injured

Fish looks a little thin and there is evidence on fins of possible aggression.
What foods were you feeding and what other fish were in tank with it?

Sorry to hear.

It was really thin. How long had you had it?

Over 2-3 months. Feeding vita chem sinking pellets and krill, occasionally mysis shrimp with selcon.

Mysis shrimp, vita chem pellets, krill, selcon with that diet. Other fish are a niger trigger, clarki pair, royal gramma basslet, hippo tang, purple tang, and a grey angelfish. The main aggressors in the tank are the clarki and the purple tang. I only noticed them attacking the coral beauty when it was weakened since the coral beauty usually stood its ground

The black spot on its side is what confuses me, the scales were pineconing on top of whatever was going on underneath. It was never like that before.

clarki- suspect
Is this the same diet you feed others in the tank?

I’d say this is malnutrition combined with a Mycobacterium infection that can infect compromised fish.

Yes. I had a pair of maroon clowns previously and my female clarki killed them. i’d rehome if I could

Clarki if the culptit will continue behavior and will need to be isolated in the future
