That doesnt really help him with his problem...

I kinda looks like he was bitten. Or it may be some sort of skin disease. Either way you might want to watch and make sure it doesnt spread. I would suggest isolating him, but then food would be a problem. Maybe wait a few days and see if it looks like it is healing, if not then you might look at treating him for infection. I dont know if you can treat saltwater fish with fishzol of fishmox but they are both antibiotics. Fishmox is actually amoxicillin, I have treated many a puppy with it. I am sure a vet or maybe a mod would know a little more about it.
