    Help: Pink Streaked Wrasse - wound?

    I have a recent addition to the tank and it's a Pink Streaked Wrasse. I'm noticing he has some sort of white spot on his left side that looks like a cut/wound. Any idea what this might be?

    Dark Green/Black spot on Green Chromis

    Have had this guy in QT for 3 weeks. From day one it has had this dark spot on its head. Not sure if it has an infection or just dark scales? It has not gotten any smaller or bigger over time. Eating very well and not breathing hard. Should I be trying to treat or does it just have a dark mark?
