To be honest these two are inseperable. I would swear that they even have feelings for one another.should you think about selling one or the other, having said that Acanthurus/zebrasoma species are not normally agressive toward each other
I think it will heal fine, but continous abuse like this may lead to the fishes demise. I’m fist in line if you want to sell either hey, plus there is a coral in your small tank that I’m seriously keen on.
Awesome picture by the way
Yeah that Fish looks nice and healthy, the gash should be gone in a couple of days.
The reason they show gashes so prolificaly is that Tangs don't have scales, so no protection. They cut pretty easy, but heal just as quick if they are in good shape.

A bit like me and my ex-wife?
Yea me too. But the big difference is, and please don't forget, she has a piece of paper and a ring to guarantee it.
Flip...just re read your thread and realised you forgot....and she frequently forgives you.
WOW! Cool sunburst! You know - I had 2 surgeons in my tank (BUT not for long unfortunately - they did EXACTLY the same). Unfortunately the new linaetus surgeon was still too new - and was not eating - my elongate surgeon also gashed it like that - and the lineatus's wound also healed - but unfortunately the stress caused white-spot (c. irritans) and this ended up causing the death of BOTH my surgeons, as well as a few other fish!
