White spot on Royal Gramma?

[Doglips56]

My Royal Gramma has developed a white spot on the dorsal side of its tail. Swimming nicely and eating, no distress noted. Doesn’t look like ich to me because it isn’t white dots but a larger white spot. I don’t know what it could be or what to think. The attached picture is just a freeze frame from a video I shot at feeding time, which is the only time she stays out of her rock long enough to capture a video. Sorry I don’t have a better camera. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I will never be able to catch her to put her back into QT. I just moved her into the DT about 5 days ago after 1 month in QT (no meds)
Thank you.

Thank you, I hope this is what it is. I looked a pics of bacterial infections but it doesn’t look like any of those.

Off hand I would agree with @35ppt but a better picture or maybe video under white lighting would help!

I will try to get a better video. Thank you.

No it doesn’t look cauliflower like. It looks like someone splashed bleach on his back. Smooth and white not affecting feeding, gills, fins, breathing or appetite. My hippo chases him back inside his cave so it’s really hard to get good pics. Tomorrow morning I will turn on the whites and feed so he will come out. I’ve put up a mirror to divert the hippo’s attention away from him. Thank you all very much.

That sounds more like an injury/abrasion.

Ok that is what I was thinking also. It spent the first 12 hours in the DT pressed into a rock crevice scared to death. Then in found a nice cave behind one of my mushrooms. Though it would stay there but my rocks have tons of holes in them and it’s found a new home in a rock where he can tart into a hole and out another. It spends a lot of time with its head poked out just chillin’. He’s actually doing it now but lights are super low at this time of night.

Hopefully it’s just an abrasion from going in the rock. If it starts turning red in the next 3-5 days I’d guess uronema or bacterial.

Here is, I hope, a better picture. I tried to shoot a video at feeding time but it doesn’t venture far from its rock and as soon as the tang comes anywhere near he darts back into his rock.
