I got a coral beauty about 6 days ago and I am noticing that there is a tiny white bump on the edge of his dorsal fin. I also see there is one or two dots on his “armpit” area of one other fin. These pictures were as good as I could get. I noticed the dorsal fin one the day I got him so it’s been there, but I’m not sure about the other. He is not scraping against anything and is eating fine so far. I have a 40 gallon FOWLR tank with 2 clowns, a Firefish, 1 hermit, 4 snails, and the coral beauty. I’m not sure what it is or what I should do! I circled the spots since oxygen bubbles tend to look like spots lol

Likely lympho. Keep a watch over the next 2-3 weeks.

As said, this looks like Lymphocystis. No treatment for that, and although the granulomas may get larger,?they usually go away on their own. That said, a non-quarantined coral beauty is really prone to infections; ich and flukes. You need to remain vigilant!
