I have a coral beauty angel fish and his lips are all white, what can this be?

Any chance of getting a picture?

Did you recently superglue a frag to a plug or rock work? Does it look like cauliflower, fuzzy, or just discolored?

IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THIS. NO I ONLY HAVE LIVE ROCK AND FISH
 
Looks like a bacterial infection.

I recommend combining Furan-2 + Seachem Sulfaplex (or API Triple Sulfa) in a QT. The sulfa drugs seem to do better for treating mouth infections.
 
do you know what are the reasons for diseases and how to avoid them? my water parameters are always perfect but this is about the 3rd fish i loose that gets a disease
 
Bacteria can enter the body through any injury - and angelfish tend to use their mouths fairly aggressively.

The antibiotics Humblefish mentioned will take on a wide variety of bacteria, but should be administered in a separate "quarantine" tank.
