Ouch! White Cheek Tang has an accident!

From experience, I've had a Powder Brown with a deep gash like that from a Powder Blue and he healed up perfectly fine. I ended up selling him to a fellow CanReefer in tip top shape.

As long as it's eating it'll be ok. I'd run ozone/uv for the white spots. Both will heal up faster in a hospital tank though as it's obvious some other fish is causing him stress.

I had a clown that had almost half her head detached from a tang attack, and she healed up fine as well, in the main tank. I was shocked, I didn't think she'd make it through the day, so they are resilient creatures, this one could recover fine where it is!
