I sent you a PMYa I do 100 percent changes on a 5g, well close. An inch for the fish to sit in. Match temp and salinity and no sweat.

Not related , this has happened to my tank with no affect….So.. to throw another factor into this. It’s been reported that there was a stink bug floating in tank for 24hrs ish prior to bumps on goby

This also does not appear to be lmphocystis.
I see two lesions - the large razed area on the fish’s back/right side and then the raised spots on the body and fins.
Most likely bacterial, but there is no way to rule out microsporidian xenomas (but ignore those as there is no treatment for that).
I would like to note that I’ve been fooled with little clown gobies before - showing spots like this that ended up being ich.

You always have something up your sleeve. If you had a fish like this - would you try to look at one of the cysts under the microscope - or would you empirically treat with antibiotics - just watch parameters and wait?Not related , this has happened to my tank with no affect….

sorry about your gobyWell, the clown goby sadly didn’t make it. I sincerely appreciate all the input from everyone.
OH - so sorry. You put a lot of effort. I don't suppose by chance you took a skin scraping?Well, the clown goby sadly didn’t make it. I sincerely appreciate all the input from everyone.
Hopefully we helped a little . It is really unclear (to me) - exactly what it was. But sorry you weren't successfulNo, don’t have any gear to take it any further.
In the future will be using quarantine. Didn’t do it this time because it was gonna be only fish in tank and got it from a good store.
FYI - just to be safe - I might not add more fish to that tank for 76 daysNo, don’t have any gear to take it any further.
