It could be injury from the angel. If that doesn’t stop, you may need to put a tank divider in.

The cleaner wrasse took a huge bite out of the tang in the video - that needs to be stopped as well.

Read over this post and see if it has any clues for additional information that could lead us to a more accurate diagnosis:

How could I stop the cleaner wrasse from biting him should I put him into a tank divider.
Any ways I can help the tang recover or just keep watching him ?
