My Tank Thread
My buddy sent me a photo of his fish and it looks like an injury. Any one have any ideas?
What is the history of this?
Is the fish still able to eat?
It looks most probably like an injury with some material stuck on it. However, if it developed over a long period, some tumors can be that color and texture.

It does look like an injury with some detritus stick to it. I’ve seen a similar thing happen with bristleworm spines.

Not a crab. May be sediment. Often ,,, without netting, if you approach a fish with a net, it will eject what's hanging from its mouth
