Hey All, My squaretail bristletooth tang has been doing well, is eating great and seems very happy. Noticed this morning his lip has something that looks like a pimple. We added several frags to the tank yesterday, but didn't see him anywhere near them. Is this something I should be concerned about?

What did you use to glue down your new frags yesterday?

Looks like a bite or coral sting. Any aggression in the tank?
Not that I have noticed. I will pay closer attention today. My clown has been slightly more aggressive because he is now hosting an anamone, but so far the only one I have seen him bite is me...haha. Possible that she bit one of the new corals and got stung I guess, but they are pretty small frags.

Appreciate the help guys. I am new to saltwater and freak out over every little thing, especially now that I am fully stocked and have coral.
