Hey guys recently added a new wrasse and this morning noticed a small open sore almost like a hole on the side of my wrasse. I have not noticed any aggression.
Currently have a yellow tang, 2 black and white clowns and a yellow fin fairy wrasse (female) all fish.

Doing water testing right now, can anyone identify what would do this to my wrasse?

Think it could be a cut from the yellow tang? Or maybe her diving in sand at night maybe cut herself on a rock? Getting some prazipro and microbe lift in case it's parasites or bacterial

Thanks for the update
Wrasses (most of the species) hide in the sand bed so yours might be staying out of sight to hopefully heal
Good luck

Well still no sign of the wrasse debating on testing the water probably going with ammonia first or should I go nitrate first? or should i give it another day or two? Corals show no sign of stress and the water doesn't smell though im running carbon all the time... hmmm
