Is it raised? or does it look like his flesh is ripped? Looks like a bite to me. But I am usually wrong.

it does not look raised.  It kind of looks like a scrap or something but its fairly large.

Tangs are notorious scrapers.  He could have taken a hit from the tail spur on the yellow tang too.   Just keep an eye on it.....it should heal.

will do.  I will keep a eye on it and see how it goes.  He seems to be acting normal.  His breathing is normal and he still eats like crazy so I will keep a eye on it as recommended and see how it goes.  Thanks

My sailfin has a huge gash on his head from chasing the other fish around. My guess is he was running from that yellow peeking around the corner there.

My starry blenny would always do that to my tomi tang.
