Is this from aggression?

I have my fish in copper qt because of an ich breakout that started a while ago. The tank DT is fallow and no signs of ich in the qt tank but today my possum wrasse looks super beat up….. do you all think this is a disease or more likely aggression from another fish? They seem to be getting territorial since it’s a much smaller tank for the qt

While it can be, can also be bacterial or mechanical injury from rocks. Transfer to quarantine setting and treat with Seachem Neoplex and add air stone. Is fish breathing normal or Labored?

Quarantine and treat for best chance of survival
