New Tang Has Swollen Mouth/Lips

[Schmidty]

I'm super excited that I finally recieved my "tang gang". Unfortunately the White Tail Bristle Tooth tang has something going on with his mouth/lips. Can anyone help me diagnose and provide some guidance?

The supplier thinks the damage occured during shippinig and that I should give him a few antibiotic baths. If this is the case what medication do you all recommend?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Supplier said shipping. Two possibilities with netting damage being my prime suspect. The other would be fish pinched in the corner of the shipping bag which often happens and in either instance, should heal on its own, however keep an eye on it for any soreness/redness which may warrant treatment in a separate tank using Seachem Kanaplex

Thank you! I will pickup some kanaplax.

Where I live, lip filler is the norm... maybe she's trying to look good for her grand introduction!

(sorry for the nonsense post, but it seems like @vetteguy53081 has you covered on your course of action)
