That's a burn if ever I did see one
 
nothing funny here.... pretty serious thing, could stress the ray and kill it, could get infected... not really a laughing matter
 
i didnt mean it like that , i really care about this ray and he is beautiful and i will do everything i could to make sure that this burn heals up, ANY other advice that would help me cure it ?
 
Relax. Burns like these don't kill a ray if you got the rest of the perimeters right. I prefer a separate filtration chamber when i can put all internal pumps, heater, probes etc... aesthetically more pleasing and functionally safer.

I would not increase the temperature too much to prevent a bacteria bloom. Just clean water will do. The best thing about rays is thats 99% of the time thats all they need to heal themselves.

I swear more rays are killed by owners trying something funny to solve the problem than the problem itself.
