Spot on Fox Face ID please

[Dayson]

Anybody have any idea what this spot on my Fox Face might be?

Is that a One Spot Foxface? Can you get a shot under some white lighting?

 

[Dayson]

It is a one spot. I'm not talking about the black spot. I'm talking about the brown circle surrounded by bright yellow behind the black spot.

It is a one spot. I'm not talking about the black spot. I'm talking about the brown circle surrounded by bright yellow behind the black spot.

I see it. But I really can't make out what it is under the blue light. Need a pic in white light.

Definitely parasitic. The question is whether it is fungal, bacgerial or an invert. Other than just the spot is there a bump, tail or any type of "streamer" protruding from the surface? It the fish scratching or flashing? Is ther perhaps a tang in the tank that may have stuck him?

 

[Dayson]

Nothing coming out of it. There is a tang that likes to beat on him a bit but it is usually scratches not anything like this. Not flashing and acting completely normal. Here are a few more pics.

I would just monitor it for now. It's too large to be a parasite, unless it's uronema (would be rare for a foxface to get that.) Most likely a cut or battle damage from the tang. If it starts looking worse that means it has gotten infected and you should QT/treat with antibiotics. But I'm betting it will heal on it's own (a foxface has a very thick mucous protection layer.) Feed vitamin supplements (Selcon, Zoecon, Vita-chem) to expedite the healing process.
