Injured Regal Tang

[Gaius Laelius]

I have a rather shy Regal Tang about 2 inches in length. It likes to hide in the rocks. Today I got home and it had a hermit crab latched onto its ventral surface. I was able to get the crab loose but it looks like there is a very small deformity of the ventral body of the tang. What do I do? Is there any first aid for this type of thing?

It should heal on its own. I'd pull the crab out, personally.

+1 get rid of the hermit. They are opportunistic scavengers and will kill snails and anything else they can. Horrible for CUC IMO
