I introduced my new trigger to my DT a few days ago after a nice long QT. He immediately went into hiding for about a day and a half but is finally starting to warm up a bit and explore. Today I noticed some marks around his face that I didn’t see during QT. My guess is that while he was freaking out he shoved himself between some rocks a bit too hard and just rubbed some skin off, but I wanted to throw it out to you guys for other opinions.

Difficult to see, photos taken under white light are easier to diagnose (at least for me). Based on the fish’s history, I bet these are just skin scrapes and with their thick skin, unlikely to get infected. When you ran QT did you treat with copper and prazi?
