The picture is a bit blurry on this end. Is the lump cottony, fibrous or cauliflower like in texture?

I’d say it’s like cottony cauliflower? Ha sorry probably closer to cotton.

Probably lymphocystis. It's a usually harmless virus that the fish will have for its life. It's a condition best treated by low stress, pristine water quality, and high quality foods + vitamins (I prefer Beta Glucan).
