Torn lower fin on Sailfin Tang, help

[Debramb]

Hi Guys, my very fat and healthy Sailfin Tang just “showed” me her torn lower back fin, I’m sure it’s my Hawaiian Yellow Tang who is challenging pecking order since blue Hippo decided he’s alittle bigger and took on the Sailfin. Balance’s being challenged, natural. My concern is will her torn fin grow back together so she is once again “So Beautiful “?? Thanks for reading my question.

Ok, TONIGHT she decides not to photobomb my phone! It’s on back lower fin, she’s been scratched a lot on her body over the years, had these Tangs since 2012 so many dominant issues. Never with her pretty fins!

It will grow back.
Bits on my sailfin grew back.
It will be fine.
I would watch for aggression.
Also what kind is that?

Nether can I.
I was just looking at it and thinking it's a different shape and color scheme than mine. But it's not one of the yellow ones.
The only 3 I knew of is the little yellow ones, the red sea ones and the normal

She should be fine. My butthole powder blue tore my purple tangs fins and hers grew back. Powder blue was evicted since she also tore my baby yellow tangs fins too and he was the size of a quarter at the time.

what is yours? I dont think Ive ever seen one like that. Just the OP’s tang and the red sea. Yours is like a cross between the two! Very pretty

Likely a tear from aggression from another tank mate and will heal in days. I have 25 tangs and once in a while one of my tangs ends up with the same and quickly repairs itself

Always mean to ask whenever you mention tangs, what kinds do you have?

The "normal" kind by my definition.
I just discovered a large rabbit hole of all the diffrent sailfins.
I wish I had a recent pic of mine with its fins out. It's one of the ones with the really tall fins.

She’s a Sailfin, never had yellow tint on fins, my avatar is her in 2016!

I do notice a big difference.
It looks like in the older pic the fins have more of a virtical hight.
Maybe with age the fins get shorter.

She must still be upset. I promise she’ll turn almost faded white. Like blue hippo, he darkens and faded multiple times a minute, his bully color is all dark blue, if I see it, more nori lol
