Help with Flame Angel

[jmc1024]

Can anyone help me identify this growth on my flame angel? I have had him for 2 weeks. He's been through TTM and is now in my quarantine tank. He's swimming around fine, doesn't seem to be breathing heavy. He has been eating a little, seems to pick at the bottom of the tank.
Thanks,
Jay

Is it only that one area? Could it be getting harassed by another fish? Could also be a bacterial infectious fin rot.

it is only that area. Def not harassed but I did notice it after i transferring him from my TTM to my quarantine. Wondering if he got bruised in the transfer.

monitor it. If it progresses, i would say treat for fin rot and hope for the best.

Sounds good keep it in qt for a bit. Probably go to ur LFS and see if they have any suggestions to rule different things as possibilities.

I wouldn't stress that doesn't seem too bad. If you do want to treat it I can offer some suggestions but is kind of hard to tell from the picture and doesn't seem alarming like I said.

I bought it from Vivid Aquariums online, I emailed them a pic. They thought that it was a scrape.

Yeah gonna keep him in qt for another couple of weeks.

My only concern is that i have a small gobie also in qt and i think that the angel is picking on him a bit. The gobie seems stressed. I'd like to release him into my DT as he'll have more room and hiding spots.

He's been through 2 weeks of TTM. Think i should keep him in QT or put him in the DT. Obviously he isn't showing any signs of disease.
