Fish in tank: sailfin tang, lunar wrasse, jewel damsel, 2 tobacco basslets and a bursa triggering. Assorted hermits and snails.
Started my tank about a year ago but upgraded to a larger tank in December.
Canister filter and a protein skimmer for filters.

Noticed some damage to my Sailfins top fin the other day, which has happened before, but usually heals pretty quickly. But then I noticed some damage to his face, almost pitting. Now today he has a few patches on his side and tummy like maybe he has been in a fight.. is my fish sick?

It looks like aggression damage, have you noticed anyone paying particular interest to him?

If I were to guess, I'd put my money on the trigger picking on the tang.
