Tang growth on mouth

[srusso]

I have this yellow tang in QT, about a week into his QT it's health and happiness in good order, I noticed a growth on it's mouth. I figured at first it was new tissue growth, but a week later I don't think that's the case. Any ideas?

do you see it forming anywhere else on the body? When did this start showing up?

Tank was setup about 4 months ago in July. Fish into QT about 2 months ago, put the clowns in last week. I can catch them rather easy if any problems come up. May move the firefish this weekend. And tang will remain in QT until that ugly thing goes away. Lol

Looks like Lympho to me. Not really a problem unless it interferes with his ability to eat.

Update photos, getting better? What do you think?

One thing I noticed about this fish, no matter how long. It seems to be always watching me in terror, not really enough to not come out but it just will not seem to get used to seeing me like other fish.

Is it advised to manually remove the growth?

 

[srusso]

Update, definitely going away. Growth on the lower "lip" is completely gone. Upper growth is noticeably "loose"... I wanna rip it off lol

Also, getting way better at taking photos [emoji39]
