This morning I found my Angelfish stuck behind a rock. I was able to get him out successfully, but he seems to be very hurt :( He's lost about half the scales on his right side, and his right fin is bent wrong and is red
Do you have any advice on how to help/treat him?
Thank you

Do you know if there's any aggression in the tank? It sounds like it was being bullied.

The best thing to do is to remove him to a hospital tank and perhaps treat with Melafix. Getting rid of whatever caused the damage to your fish will be the ultimate solution, though.
