what is this?????

[georgel5]

My blue tang has his fins inflated and now has a little bump on the side of his lip. If anyone has any idea what this is or how to treat it please let me know because at this point I have no clue what this is, the rest of my fish are fine. Hopefully it is visible in these three pics:

i have no idea, it doesn't look like a good thing though.

well I have searched online and I can't pinpoint what it could be....

I say bag him and take him to a local fish store and see if they have any ideas...

[georgel5]

I would do that except I don't want to stress him out more.

I would not bag him and take him anywhere, you got the right idea George

[georgel5]
