six line wrasse help

[frank]

Hi everone... One-eyed Willie, my six line wrasse has developed a bit of an oddity. I'll prep this with this... I haven't tested my parameters this week, so no current numbers (will do a little later as I just did a water change) and everyone else in the tank seems to be doing well. Okay, back to the oddity. Willie has developed some sort of growth along his belly, just left of the center line. It looks like a reddish/pink califlower type thing. Not very big, probably about 3/4 the size of his eye. He isn't showing any signs of stress, and I haven't seen him rubbing on anything as if he is trying to get it off... I'll try to get pics, but no one in my tank is particularly happy when the camera comes around.

So has anyone heard of a growth like that? Could it maybe be from a bite from a tank-mate?

Thanks,
Frank
