Hi there, can anyone id this. My butterfly fish has randomly got a white spot in the same place on both sides. It’s acting normal, eating well, parameters are all within range, all other fish seem fine and healthy.

It is not looking ‘sore’ if you know what I mean but it is really symmetrical. I’ve had this fish since July and did a qt first.





Thanks everyone
