Tang spot on side

[pascal32]

I thought all was well after the 3 day blackout. then while feeding the fish I noticed one side on the OS tank has some damage.

I just fed mysis soaked in selcon, hope that helps the recovery!

any thoughts?

I've found that scrapes like this may look scary, but heal remarkably fast!
