Could you repost the picture

Are your fish fighting? Can't see any of the pictures. Fish heal remarkably quickly, if it is just a wound.

Looks like they don't like me using their image directly. Try here: green_chromis.jpg ? Advanced Aquarist | Aquarist Magazine and Blog

No they arent fight and no the picture doesnt look like the fish

 

[Humblefish]

Post a pic of your fish and this cut if you can

It doesnt show up on camera. I can tell you that its white and on its head

How large?

 

[fishmaster818]

Its smaller then its eye

 

[Humblefish]

Its smaller then its eye

But larger than ich? Does it appear to be protruding outward or under the fish's skin?

 

[fishmaster818]

It doesnt look like ich because it only one white dot and it looks to be growing outward

 

[fishmaster818]

It was pinkish yesterday

Might have just hit its head on a rock? From pink to white sounds like it's healing. Watch it closely the next couple days.

Chromis are very susceptible to a parasite called Uronema marinum. It starts out looking like a small pimple and then morphs into what you saw in that picture. I'm not saying this is what is wrong with your chromis... but just something to watch out for. For now, I would just wait & see.

I got a picture its right above his eye. Its the best one i could get
