Disease or battle wound?

[SmoothSmoke]

My royal gramma is in my tank with a pair of clowns. Early this week it looked as if had a bite mark or a lesion. Now it has grown and developed a hole right through his body. How should I treat this when I put him in QT?

What else is in the tank?

 

[SmoothSmoke]

Corals, lps and zoas mostly, bubble tip anemone.

Not sure how that happened.

Any idea what disease it is? My searches have come up empty.

Looks like a wound on one side and possible brook or urenoma on the other possibly? When did you notice the problem? Have you been gone or is this overnight?

I noticed a bump 4 days ago. Now it has turned into a hole. Broolynella? My clowns would have gotten that already? The royal gramma was in qt for 5 weeks before putting him in the display. The clowns were in qt for 3 weeks before going in as well.

Three things that come to mind are brook, uronema or skin ulcers. I can't ID for sure, maybe someone else will offer some insight

Sometimes these pimples or blisters open and get hole in fish. I would treat with a wicked antibiotic in water and food. Maybe metro in water also. Cipro or baytril. Neo or baytril in food.

But I'm not sure it's worth all this for royal garama

I just dont want the clowns getting anything. They look great. The gramma is eating fine and is not acting sick. I tried getting him out today but he is crazy fast.

Have to use a trap.
