This is just my opinion but I’m guessing one of his friends may have bitten him – some of the fish you listed can be aggressive. Are any of the other fish suffering simmiler wounds?

Nope. Just him. And it sticks out about half an inch to an inch of his skin. Its just one big bulge really

Ouch! Hard to tell from the pictures but is that a piece missing or is it bulging like you said?

Sometimes a sore will be raised after a fish attack. I would put this fish in a rehab tank and treat it with some form of medication as soon as possible.
