I Have a new Copperband Butterfly that has been in the display for about a week now. I think my tang scratched him into a rock and it is starting to look like a bacterial infection.

It is super healthy and eats everything I put in the tank otherwise.

I Can't find anything online for treating a bacterial infection in a display tank with corals. Does anyone know of any successful methods? What are the odds of survival with no treatment?

QT is not an option. Ill post a picture this afternoon
