Just this morning I noticed this on my fish. Does it look like a scratch to you guys or some type of outbreak?

I was thinking that maybe it was my starry blenny they were going back and forth a few minutes ago. I have a flame angel, pair of blackhawk picasso, royal gramma, Shanghai cardinal, and a blue chromisI think it looks like another fish bit him. What other fish do you have?
Could be possible. I do have a bubble tip and carpet anemone. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't any type of diseasesLooks more like a nem or coral sting to me. Like he brushed up against something.

Thanks I was told I would be fine since it was a mini carpet anemone. Looks like I have to set up another tank to put it inThe carpet nem would be the most likely suspect. You are going to lose some fish to that thing.

Thanks so much. I thought blenny because it looked like marks that were in the glass from it eating algae. They seem to be fine now so I'll just monitor them bothLooks similar to a nem sting but placement and shape points to the Blenny. Tapetums don't pack the punch of their hosting cousins but still pose a threat to smaller and/or weakened fish.
That's what I was thinking as well. Especially since it didn't affect how he attacks algae. Now it's just getting him to eat nori sheetsI agree it looks like an injury but not a sting, in my experience— although anything is possible.
The more I read up on it I seen that. Except it was the other way around. I think maybe because my blennie was in first he was the aggressor. They tang picked at him a bit the next day. Now they seem to ignore each otherBristletooth tangs and starry blennies don't seem to get along real well ... they view each other as competition for the same algae resource. It may take a while for those two to fully accept one another.
