Radiant wrasse potential jaw disorientation

[fishkeeprian]

Hello,

What are your opinions on my wrasse. Purchased on Saturday and noticed his lips were a little perky is this normal for this variety of wrasse. I read online this could be a jaw injury. What do you think?

Thanks

probably damage from trying to bury in the shipping bag

Do they heal or is is permanent. He's only 3 inch so only a juvenile.

if it is eating and able to take the food it should heal fine

I received a potters leopard wrasse that had a damaged mouth. It had me a little worried at first but it started eating after a couple of days. Once he was eating I figured he would be ok. I’ve had it for over a year now & although his mouth still looks a little damaged it looks way better then it did when I received him. So I would say as long as it eats fine it should be ok
