randalls goby

posted this in the fish health section but it doesn't seem to get many hits:

arrrgggghhh!
just back from two weeks in france to find all not well in my marine tank. the usual stuff when you are away, skimmer stopped working, kh a little low, salinity a bit high.

but the real worry is my randalls goby. before i left he had a little red spot/line which i thought might have been a graze or something....its a lot worse now.

does anyone know what it is or how to treat it? i plan on putting him in qt tomorrow after my water change. he is still active and eating well. all other fish seem perfect.

water is as follows:

temp - 24.5 C
ph - 8.2
salt - 1026
kh - 6.6
nitrate -zero

he was in qt for 4 weeks and added to the main system at the end of november
thanks in advance

looks like it ran into something...what else is in the tank? Anenomes??? Could have cut itself digging a burrow...doesn't look too bad in the pic...

maybe the pic doesnt do it justice. in real life half his face is missing. i dont have any anemones. just musrooms, button polps, tiny amount of apistasia etc.
