Main concern is it going to infect my other fish?

Thanks.

are you sure it's actually green and not red?

 

[D1J8Z]

think he got beat up and its blood?

It looks green when the blue lights on, I tried shining a white LED flashlight on it but it still looks blue/green

I see a lot of hemorrhagic CBBs when they start going south but never seen anything blue/green. Maybe you should be calling the CDC instead of asking here, Dave. lol

 

[D1J8Z]

he is really seeking attention from the cleaner goby but the little "guy" is no help

sorry to hear Dave....I've seen red blotches, but never anything blue/green

Call it 6:29

Looks like you guys were right red patches. Where does this come from?

He ate obviously all the aptasia all the feather dusters and was chomping down meaty foods since day one.

I couldnt really tell, but it looked thin in the pictures....could you see the "square" of bones in its belly region?

Sorry about the fish, its a tough one to keep

 

[D1J8Z]

He was nice and fat he ate like a pig! I thought I found a real keeper. I think this was the last one I try.

Sometimes if you catch it early enough you can treat the wounds directly with an antibacterial like melafix or an antibiotic paste.
