I recently purchased a fowleri tang from an online vendor. Acted very skittish for about a week. Only came out to eat 3 times a day then back to his pvc. Well after a week went by, he developed a long purple mark along his stomach. The next day it broke into an open wound. I immediately took pictures and sent them to the company. They said it looked like a sting, which it obviously was not.
Well, I dosed melafix for a week. The wound seemed to be getting better, and he was eating more aggressively and coming out more. Really thought he'd make a turn around. Came home from work today and found him looking like the pictures below. None of the marks were there the night before other than the open wound on his stomach.
I've never seen anything like it before. I was thinking maybe hemorrhaging due to poor collection practices? The dark areas are more purple in person. Thoughts?
My water params are as regular, he was by himself etc. etc.
