Bubble on scoly

What is this on my scoly? It developed gradually over a couple weeks.

Never saw it before Could be some type of damage - fish bite maybe? I would think it eventually heal. I personally wouldn’t touch it

I'll wait and see what happens. Thanks

Perhaps the beginning of vermatid snail tubes.

Do they bury in coral flesh? I've had this for almost a year and it's the first time seeing it.

Was the mouth gaping when you placed it in the system?

In the past I’ve had some “gulp” some air, you’ll have to maneuver the scoly and get the mouth to open and get the bubble out

They usually start on the skeleton but the tube can grow right through the coral flesh.
