He could have scraped it on a rock, or the little fish could be pestering him. Pictures would help.

Just make sure your adding vitamins to the sharks food, and it should clear up no problem.

what kind of vitamins should i add?

Its hard to say what it might be. Could be some kind of injury. I would just keep an eye on it and make sure the shark is eating well. If it ends up being a infection you'll know very quickly and from my expereiance you will se little fiberous strands as fin rots away.
