So my little Ornate has an ulcer like lesion on his one side that I would typically identify as colmunaris in trout and sturgeon.
I have no plecos and the poor guy hasn't come out enough for me too notice till now.
What do you guys think? Best form of treatment? I salted the tank and turned the temperature down for now.
I would use formalin, but I don't really have access to that right now.

Suggestions?

Looks like a scrape to me but I will let others chime in.

Agree with tlindsey tlindsey . Clean water and should be better soon. Plecos in the tank?
 
I personally don't think it looks like Columnaris.. I've have many bouts and none of it appeared like what you have. There's always a first though. Have you tried a water change and salt (if the polys are ok with salt)?
