Growth on blue spot jawfish

[charliereef]

Had him for 2 weeks now, all has been good with him, he readily accepts pellets, live brine, zooplankton, shrimp chunks and frozen mysis. He has changed spots just once, he decided to take a big rock and plug its holes with sand as his borrow for now.

No other fish has any of it, everyone eating normally. Jawfish is behaving normally, eating enthusiastically and burrowing as usual. I spent close to an hour watching him, no other white spots on him.

This looks to be a cyst or bump from an injury which they often get diving into sand and rocks. Keep an eye on it for healing and not growing larger or sore which would then require treatment

Looks like a mild case of UVD (Unknown Vesicle Disease). I did a write-up on it here: (click on the PDF link to read the article)
