That would be a possibility. He does come out within a few minutes of food hitting the tank. One thing is my Tominini tang does chase my diamond goby. It looks like the wrasse and goby are in the same area, guess its possible the tang spooked the wrasse at the same time.

My concerns would be catching him and causing more damage to his side. I'll see what he looks like tonight. I'd have to find something that I could trap him in to remove.

Would he be better off in the sump rather than a hastily thrown together qt and would a medicated dip help?
