    Looks like his little buddie in the pick prolly did it. It will heal back.

    Yeah, I would say the other tang is the most likely culprit. That spine near their tails is sharp as hell and will easily slice a fin like that.

    They get along really good. Ive caught him crashing the rock. If my purple did it it was by accident. Its crazy those two are diff tangs but act like a pair!

    Yes it will grow back with no problem 6-8 weeks for total recovery.
