Supermale Rhomboid Wrasse possible Booboo/Injury???

[Lemons]

Howdy folks! I noticed today that my Wrasse has a discoloured patch on his right side. My thoughts are some kind of physical damage happened to the poor guy...
but you can never be too sure yenno! So that's why I figured I'd get some others to chime in!

Do you mean the light purplish patch just behind his forehead? Maybe he just scraped a rock or something in the sand?

yea his normal colouration is usually that last picture on both sides!

Yeah looks like some sort of scrape where maybe it’s slime coat came off. I’d monitor it but I wouldn’t be too concerned. That’s a beautiful Rhomboid you have there!

Thank you! he's my little prince Midas!!!

Also, I think I may have found the culprit, my clowns are nesting currently and they have sectioned off the back left corner of the tank and charge at anyone who comes close.. and sure enough.. guess who stays far away from that area right now LOL
