What's on my CBB?

Picked up this CBB last weekend. It's eating frozen brine and Mysis, and seems healthy (swimming and breathing) other than some recent white growth only on its tail. Thoughts on what it could be and treatment? I don't have a QT tank but have this in my 20g Nuvo with my Black Storm clowns.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c45f006bd7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3323f56dd7.jpg

Possibly lymphocystis? Usually shows as a white growth.

Thanks Ty. Seems pretty common with CBB, and I really didn't see much I can do other than keep good water parameters and maybe add some garlic or selecon to food.

Yeah some people will try and treat it in QT, but I’ve seen fish recover from it. Good luck!
