I have an elephant nose in a 36 gallon tank. His tank mate are-

5 neons
3 clown loaches
3 red fin blue tetras
2 black mollies
1 rope fish

I just noticed that the elephant nose has an injury on his snout. It seems like it got cut and a white piece of cartilage is poking out near the base. He hasn't been rooting and seems to be guarding it.

Has anyone had any experience? Is this something that can heal. I'd hate to see him suffer and starve. He hasn't rated since thursday night.
