Clowns tail

[reefrookie379]

Hello all, I am not sure what this is on my clowns tail. I have seen it three separate times now. It stays for a couple of days and then goes away. It’s looks almost like a piece of food or a tiny shrimp type thing. Please if anyone might know or have suggestions. Thank you.

Pic too blue to pinpoint issue and best under white lighting. Can be sand or lympho but not parasitical

Could be Lymphocystis, sometimes those growths get bumped and fall off. It could also be a minor bacterial infection. If there are no other symptoms I don’t think any treatment is necessary.
