    My watchmen had bruises on his face that were redish brown. Not sure what they were, infection or actual bruises. They healed up after a couple of days. Does it look like bruising?

    Does he eat normally?
    what are your water parameters?
    Do you have a QT tank?

    If its a fungus.(i couldnt tell that good by the pic) you could put him on a QT tank and have an eye on him. Although sometimes this procedure makes the fish stressed and it may or may not make things worse. If you do it, i would recommend to do it at night with most of the lights off.. that way you will reduce stress.
