Probably Lymphocystis in assessor

[ThunderGoose]

So my yellow assessor has what appears to be a classic case of Lymphocystis. THANKS to @melypr1985 for the pinned image and information post.

My assessor is the lowest fish on the tank pecking order (last to feed, tends to hide). I read that stress contributes to this disease. Should I remove her from the "big" tank and let her recover or set her up longer term in QT so she has a chance to grow before returning her to the big tank? Re-home her? Move her to my 10 gallon tank where she would be able to turn into a bully for my tiny fishes?

Other fishes: 2 ocellaris clowns, royal gramma, blackline blenny, goldline blenny, neon goby, sailfin blenny, yellow watchman goby. Tank is RSR 250 (55 gallons in display).

Thanks

How bad is it? Can you post a pic? Lympho typically is just an annoyance for most fish, unless it covers a sensitive area like the mouth (prevents eating) or gills (prevents breathing).

It's not bad at all - it's restricted to one pectoral fin.

I looked at her again when the lights came on to see if I could get a picture and the white area is already receding. I guess I don't need to worry about it after all.

Thanks for the quick response.
