I got the the melanarus wrasse from a LFS 7 days ago. On the second day I had him (5 days ago) I noticed these markings on him. He had plenty of energy, eats fine and moves about the tank all day with plenty of vigor. He's had this for at least 5 days without showing signs of slowing down. You can see in the picture, it looks like it's swollen and his scales are slightly raised. He's still an aggressive eater and moves about the tank all day.
I've had the flasher wrasse for about 6-8 months. He's one of the most active members in the tank flashing and jetting around like he's always got some where to be. Yesterday I noticed he was not acting himself because he had slowed down a bit. Still eating, still moving about but definitely with less tenacity as usually. Upon inspecting him, I noticed the mark on his abdomen. Can any help me identify what's going on here? Is it related and what should I be doing about it?
