My hippo tang went ito this hole in my barnicle now he cant get out. He seriously gotten stuck. When he didnt come out to get food yesterday, i looked at him and he has scratches along his belly from tring to work his way out. I know this is what hippos do to stay away from preditors but he rely wedeged himself in there. I took the barnicle and tried moving it were it sits at a different angle so he might be able to get out, then waiting but it didnt work. He hasn't ate in a day and a halph help!

Keep an eye on him to see if he heals up ok. It the wound sites appear to get swollen or red, you will need to seriously think about placing him in a hospital tank and treating with antibiotics. In the meantime, if you have or can get Zoe or Zoecon, then use this on his food.
TLC in order.
