Please help what treatment is required for my angelfish. The growth appeared very fast and is stopping it from eating. I am dosing primafix and after 3 days no improvement. It almost looks like cotton wool. The treatment says it treats fungal infections.

Pics are quite dark to clearly see but appears as a bacterial growth which would cause the pause in feeding. Treatment will have to be performed in quarantine using Seachem Kanaplex whjich is a broad spectrum treatment easily absorbed by fish and addresses Mouth rot. Other option is Maracyn 2 but I prefer the seachem
 
Pimafix is more of a tonic than a true antibiotic. External fungal infections are very rare in marine fish.

Can you post a video under white light?
Could the angel have gotten injured somehow?
How long gave you had the fish?
Is it breathing fast?

The lights are off aT the moment, injury I can only think it could have come from the head section of a shrimp I fed. I've had the fish nearly 4 years now.

It could have injured itself on the sharp head spines of a shrimp, but I've not seen that happen myself.
