The pic, honestly - is hard to see/say anything about - is there more information - any other fish, etc? Any other symptoms? To me that looks like an injury - not a fluke - and IMHO - I would not treat with prazipro - if anything it looks like a bacteria

Nadda, he had start of ich but shook it off. This originally was what looked like a scratch against a rock from where ever he came from. Ill try for better pics but he likes to dart and hide

Looks more like a bacterial infection. What do you mean shook off ich? Ich just doesn't disappear out of a tank on its own. Need a close up of the spot.

These things are always somewhat of a guess online, but it looks similar to a bacterial infection I had on a gramma and wrasse. Prazipro is not the answer for it. I failed at antibiotics when treating mine. Bacterial is tough.

That isn't a fluke problem. During TTM, one issue is that fish need to be moved, and netting can increase stress and damage to the fish. Are there any other fish in with it?

If it continues to grow in size and spread, you may need to consider antibiotics. That might work well with TTM, since instead of changing the water, you'll just be moving the fish. If you do go that route, you'll want to pick a gram negative, broad spectrum antibiotic - Neoplex, Furan 2 perhaps.
