Hey everyone, first time posting.
I have this fish (fool) for 2 months now. Today, I noticed a bump on the left of side of him, what is this, and should I be worried? TIA.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

A single bump like that is usually not serious, especially if the fish has no other symptoms.

It may well be a bump from a minor injury. There are some internal diseases that can cause pustules like that, but these really aren’t treatable.

Thanks for the info.
Hopefully it doesn't get bigger or cause any issues.
