Second, about a month ago The damsel, shown in damselindistress.jpg, showed up in the morning with a “hole” about the size of a dime in its side. The scales and skin looked like they had been sheared off. All that was left was the raw flesh of the fish. We decided to wait a few days to see what happened (chasing him around my coral tank with a net was NOT on my list of things to do for fun…) amazingly, he got. better. The skin/scales reappeared, although they’re pretty misshapen. You can see the affected area in this shot. (This is background.)
