Here's an Odd One...

I recently added a Trigger to my FOWLR aggressive tank...and in the "introduction" process I think my Hippo Tang went "waving his tail" at him...
Now near as I can figure out, the Trigger was tucked in some rock work and the Tang backed in and "slashed/waved" his tail and it looks like his little "spike" must have hooked on the rock work and been "bent" back...
The Trigger was not harmed and they're getting along fine now, so let's forget about him...
But the Tang is swimming around with his "spike" exposed and pointing back slightly, rather than tucked in and pointing forward...
Is this something I should worry about or do something about...Like maybe catch the Tang and gently "push" the spike forward... or just leave it and see if it returns (it's been a week) or or is this just a "battle scar" he'll have for life...?

I wouldn't push it forward because he could easily slice you as well in the process. I think he'll be fine but here's a bump for some other opinions.

poor tang..maybe he learned his lesson...i would just leave it....it could hurt him if you even could push it......that is a very wierd situation...not to much options
