Hello I just received this tang in from shipping. It has large growth in its mouth and is extremely lethargic. Any idea what it is and any treatment recommendations?

I’ve seen that with these tangs, they get their teeth caught in a net and get damaged.

The laying on its side is shipping or acclimation stress. Keep it dim and in well oxygenated water, by itself and hope for the best.

I’d also let the shipper know in case they have any sort of guarantee on their fish.
