Majestic scar

My majestic has had this scar for the past two years from a heated battle with a yellow tang. Will this scar ever heal and fill up with its blue scale pattern? I currently soak my food in ghv fish food soak,selcon,and zoecon.

My Majestic has a scar as well and I have not seen any change in it's appearance. I guess they don't repair as well, or back to original condition like fin tears or rips do.

On a lighter note, my Koran has started to grow a bright yellow streamer off of his dorsal fin. He is 6" but still has juvenile markings. About a year ago it looked like he was starting to morph, but the change stopped and he went back to juvenile markings. Weird, I will try to get some pics.

i guess the scar will remain there forever, but it doesnt really bother me. This fish is a trooper and has the battle scars to prove it. haha.
