Sure looks like a little tissue recession...I couldn't even guess at a cause. But its been my experience that they seldom recover and may continue to decline. The best you can do it provide ideal circulation/lighting/water chemistry...and maybe try to target feed it for a while. They can recover but many times they'll continue to get worse once tissue starts receding like that.I currently keep a sort of small speciman that has struggled at times but so far I've managed to keep it from becoming a total loss...mine has adjusted well to several minor problems and near death experiences.Good luck helping yours to recover and keep us posted on how it does. It would be interesting to see future pics of a healhty recovery.:happyfish

Probably no hope for it. Mine did the same thing. I think it got damaged at the fish store before I bought mine...

From what I have read they do well unless something is dropped on it or mishandled..

Thank for everyones reply. he's looking terrible this morning and I noticed one of my shrimp picking at his skin. I'm guessing by tonight he'll be 100% gone.
Usually these guys aren't hard to keep, I'm guessing either one of my fish or a shrimp picked at him.
I have 260watts of PC light and needed to have him somewhat towards the top, he never really thrived in the sand bed for me.
weird....

What sort of fish do you have? I had to trade my brain away after I noticed my Flame Angel picking on its tissue...
