Definitely looks like an injury, probably jumped into the lid too hard. Just give it time and plenty of clean water and it should heal fine.

I agree with Deadeye, looks like they bumped into something. Are they behaving any differently from how they usually do?

I would suggest doing nothing except additional water changes and monitor for a couple weeks.

keep the water clean and maybe throw in some methylene blue
thats all
dont do too many water changes 20% once a week is fineee
its a little injury
snakeheads are tough tough fish
as lon as its eating itll be fine
