I just noticed that my gold headed sleeper goby looks like he has a punture wound thats going all the way through him.He did not have it 4-5 hours ago,then I walked toward the tank and he was laying around on the ground with something that looks like a wound on both sides and its red all around it.looks like a cut.I have no organism that could have done that(that I know of).There is an urchin but I dont think he would do it,he's to slow.and they eat algae.My moms thinks I bought a mantis shrimp and put him in there,because I was telling her that id like to set up a mantis shrimp tank.

The tanks been set up a little over a year,and the fish has been in there about 2 months.he is 7inches.I have seen no signs of any desease.Is there anything I can do to help him?I have to much live rock to catch him and put him in quarantine.He's one of my favorite fish,how can I help him?
