Lyretail Anthias, Male (Fiji)

[Reefers4U]

This guy arrived from LiveAquairua with some injuries.

I'm not sure if this is an ammonia burn or an ulcer from some other disease.

The first picture shows a bump from his right side but the second picture shows his left side with a burn/ulcer.

Any thoughts on how I should treat?

If it's ammonia related a meth blue bath will help. It looks bacterial to me I would get him started on Kanaplex with a bath in an anticeptic like Acriflavin ms

thanks for the views and replies. I came home last night and he had jumped out of the QT tank (which actually has a lid with a small opening).

Found him stiff on the carpet
