Well my tangs got in a fight in the night and one ended up with a huge gash on its side! Woke up to its stomach contents hanging out gently. Was quite worried and in awe at the same time. He was still eating and quite active so catching him was not gonna happen. Eventually the sack started to get sucked back in! Was really rooting for him! In the end the whole of his stomach contents ended up being sucked back in and healed up! What a champ!

Just wanted to show the fish resilience
 
I say well done.
And to think many would have chased the poor things all over to catch it, possible causing more damage then put it in a hospital tank with white PVC where it could die from stress or improper medication.
