I would treat it...by leaving it alone. Soak his food in Selcon and Garlic, and hope for the best. That's my cure-all.

They look like tough little buggers, the tail should heal up fine.

A pet store in Winnipeg had a shark that a large piece of Rock fell on his tail, and broke the bones, leaving a mangeled tail looked aweful, but the little guy kept moving around and eating well, tail never healed, but the fish lived.

a quick dip of his injured tail part in diluted iodine solution might help him fight off infection.

if i remember correctly i dipped my mandarin dragonet's damaged tailfin into half the lugol recommended strength for coral dipping. i dipped tailend into solution net and all and it never struggle at all.
