A mechanical injury is certainly plausible. Animals can and do get injured when kept in confined spaces. Can't say that I recall A.latezonatus being very paranoid, but my experience was only with a few dozen specimens at best. I know A. polymnus could be nutty, and did suffer from fungal/bacterial problems brought about by mechanical injury. Not the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, but I would look more towards diet, temp, water quality before coming to this conclusion.
