    Check this out and tell me what you think. It looks kinda like a popped blister. It was a bit of a bump for the past 3 days. Maybe my long spined urchin stung him?

    possible that the trigger got to close to the urchin

    but its also possible that the trigger whilst hunting for small inverts on the rockwork
    poked himself in the face with a vermatid or any other sharp thing stuck out from the rockwork

    +1 and he could have also gotten a little to close to a bristle worm or any other creatures that stings or bites.

    I would watch him for a few days and make sure he is eating good. My Niger and Pink-tail trigger often come up with mysterious marks on them.
