Chances are it was just nose rubbing on the glass. This is common in barracudas. Keep the water clean, and distractions down and it should clear up quickly.

As the others said, it's usually them rubbing their snout against the glass or hitting it against the glass when going after feeders. Melafix or a little dissolved salt will fix him right up, but choose one or the other, not both at the same time.
