Okay I have had my green mandarin for several months now and he eats everything frozen. Looks happy except I noticed about a month into his arrival in his new home that he developed this small recessed hole. It doesn't go to far into the body but looks more like when you get a blister and the skin peels away.
Over the past couple of months it has seemed to shrink and then get bigger. I did notice once that my 6-line nipped at him during feeding time. I haven't seen that since. I also notice that my Yellow Tang will try to spine him with his tail spikes if the mandarin gets to close.
Initially that is what I thought the hole was from because he didn't have it when I bought him. Now I am wondering if it is some sort of disease and if so, can it be treated. Outside of this the mandarin seems to carry on business as usual and is very active. I just can't stand looking at this hole so to speak.
Any and all comments are welcomed. Has anyone observed this before?
Thanks,
Bill
