I've seen this happen a couple of times... I would keep him in QT until the lips heal. I've had mine hurt her lips during catch/transfer process to the DT and she didn't make it because I opted not to go fishing and stress everyone out. Seeing as the fish is already in QT you might as well keep it where you can keep a closer eye on things and make sure he keeps eating.
+1 to what George said, wait a little before medicating with anti-bacterial. Pristine water quality is also super important when it comes to infection.

Are you using a net with your tank transfer method?
Maybe a small colander/strainer would be easier on the fish

Seems to be doing better today, the redness is gone not sure how the net could cause this damage they are in there for all on 3 seconds the tanks for tank transfer are a few feet apart
Gonna just keep him in the QT to make sure he's all right
