Can’t open video but my guess as they’re susceptible to such is lymphocystis. Lympho Is viral and associated with both poor water quality and diet
Doesn’t mean your water is poor but rather does not meet husbandry requirements for this fish
Test and maintain water quality and it will fall off
Please send a couple of still pics under white lights for confirmation

Thank and I do have water quality issues. Nitrate and phosphate are very high. I have stopped feeding cubes because it create too much waste.

Weekly I change 40 gal of 200. I did vinegar dosing and reduce phosphate but not nitrate.

I am getting ready to start no pox, but want to cycle a bit more water from the vinegar.

So all and allI am on track with water quality, just have to figure out how to get it back.

I added algae scrubber, but I have never been able to grow chato or macro algae. Tested a Santa Monica HOG on my qt, which worked well.

Thank you

MAY and I say May be an isopod or post injury.
To be safe, give the fish a freshwater dip for 4-5 minutes in tap water the same temperature as display tank and see if this dislodges. Beautiful blue angel.
