He's eating fine and breathing fine. No bullies, just a royal gramma and a yasha goby. He got spooked by something he other day, maybe a peppermint shrimp . I'd rather not QT as well. Will keep an eye on it

Normally when a fish is sick it won't eat, from what I've experienced, and it may lay on the ground breathing heavily. I would give it a few days, throw in some fish FX if you still have any - its an immunity booster. Other than that there's the Herbatana, in the orange bottle - it's all natural, with no copper so it won't harm your inverts or coral.

Yea I say we just wait and see how he does. QT will probably just stress him out further. He's feeding completely normal and swimming around flashing. And we should try that Herbatina or whatever it is called. Thanks for the advice!

I recently added a blue flahser wrasse and he got a spot like that soon after adding him on top of his head .I think he was spooked and bounced off my cover, it went away in a week or two and hes was none the worse for wear.

Hey that is comforting to hear, thanks. Yea it really seems more like an injury than a parasite or something. I'll keep a very close eye on things. Thanks again
