Ouch! White Cheek Tang has an accident!

I have a coral beauty that had a gash way worse than your PB, and at first I thought that it was a gonner however after 3 days the open wound started healing up and now you'd never notice that it was ever there.... no scares whatsoever. The wound was so open you can see it's flesh almost to the bone half inch wide by 1.5 inch long. Trying to qt a fish can put alot of stress on it especially when you try to catch it, personally I would see about the wound if it heals within a week.

Here is an update photo taken after 8 days. So far, a remarkable recovery in a short time.

You can see, the lymphocystis has not changed much (if that is what he's got...). I've added Selcon to their diet to see if that can help at all.

might just be my imagination, but it looks like the cut is starting to close. I would do the same though, leave it be and pump it full of as much food as you can. set up a other algae stations if it is getting pushed away from the other.

That definitely looks like progress in the right direction regarding the wound..
