Yellow Coris Wrasse with Red patch?

[eagleONE]

Hi guys

I was wondering if ya'll can help me. I have a yellow coris wrasse and it has what looks to be like internal bleeding. Sounds pretty crazy... I don't know how to approach this. Should I just leave it alone and let it pass on its own? I personally don't know how it got it. Here are some pictures. The pictures didn't come out as well. But red parts are not the surface. Suggestions please. Thanks.

keep and eye on it.. if it grows or fish becomes distressed treat for bacterial infection.

yeah often a sicn of internal bacterial infection maracyn 2 at double dose for 7 days would be a good idea for treatment.

that's what I thought. So far, I have it eating mysis with garlic infused with it. I'm hoping I don't have to go to the maracyn route.

Thanks guys. Is there any other ways I can beat this with meds?

Agree with the others ... odds are good that will clear up on its own if you maintain good water quality and feed healthy food.

The redness seemed to darkened, I don't know if I'm seeing correctly... but I will do a water change later today and keep feed garlic foods.
