I woke up this morning and saw that my fox face had brown scratches on it I’ve never seen this before and the fish not sure if he was attacked or this is some sort of infection or parasite. He is still eating fine and active.

In my tank is Watanabe angle, fire goby, starry Benny, clownfish, anthia, diamond goby, skunk shrimp, emerald crab, urchin, hermits and snails. I suspect he either a scratched himself on a rock or the cleaner shrimp over cleaned him. Has anyone had this happen before

My rabbitfish has had those before after scratching his skin on my rock. Goes away within 1-2 days if its a scratch, heals very quickly. If it doesnt quickly go away then consider other things.
