I have a female Crosshatch Trigger. Have had her for a few weeks. She eats well and I often soak food in garlic or Vita-Chem. Also feed vitamin enriched mysis shrimp. Not overly active, she like to stay in her "den" about 1/2 the time.
She had a white "pimple" looking growth on her chin I noticed about a week or so ago. I have been watching her and it seems to have gotten worse. It looks like a small area is like an open wound now and she still has a "pimple' type bump.
She is about 6" long. 125g tank (this is a temp tank while I wait for m 820g). There are two other triggers in the tank with her and my Banana Moray. They all get along pretty well.
Tank parameters are good. Nitrates only 10. I do regular water changes 10 or 20%.
Can you help tell me what it is? Do I need to remove her to a QT and treat? Was hoping it would heal on it's own but want to make sure I am not dealing wit something that is only going to get worse. See the attached image. Ignore the white area on the side of her face as that is just a reflection from the tank.
THANKS!
