Triggerfish problem

[Carter020108]

I got my first trigger fish about a week ago the tank has been cycled for a long time however when I saw him come out of the rock for the first time today because he has been hiding in it however to my surprise when I saw him he was covered in strange sores the tank mates are 2 green spotted puffers a tomato clownfish and a yellowtail damsel

Keep the water clean. Make sure it’s eating. Give a round of triple sulfa.

Agree with kno4te
Looks like an injury that got infected, likely by the puffers.

the puffers

My thoughts as well probably why the Triggerfish was hiding.

I will make sure to keep the water clean will bacterial infection remedy work

Sadly he did not make it I learned my lesson and will never keep puffers with triggers again I removed the saddle which was the agressive puffer and brought him to my lfs
