Hi all,

I recently got a small longnose butterfly fish. He’s been doing well until a few days ago I noticed he broke his beak/mouth while in an acclimation box in my main display. The top is completely broken off and the bottom part is broke but still attached. I tried searching for info on this and didn’t have any luck. Has anyone seen this before? Is this something that will grow back? He still seems to be eating mysis so that’s good atleast.
