Copper banded Butterfly fish w white spot

[bradejoe]

Looking for some help. Noticed a singular white plaque-like lesion on my copperbanded butterflyfish today. It is on his right pectoral fin. Have had him about one month. Has been eating great, active. No other signs of illness with him. No other signs of disease in the tank other than having lost my banded coral shrimp last week (he was over 3 years old).

I know the pictures are a little difficult to see, but you can see the 2-3mm white spot over one of his yellow stripes when he is in profile and against the background in the other picture. I can try and get better pictures if any one thinks it would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Probably just Lymphocystis: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/lymphocystis.257461/

Any thoughts on what I should watch for next? When should I panic?

No need to panic. Just feed him vitamin enriched foods and eventually symptoms of the virus will subside.

Only thing he/she is eating for sure is mysis shrimp...seems to be leaving everything else alone. Keep going with that? Or do you have any other ideas?

Live blackworms are like crack to these guys!

Blackworms like 4ford said are a good option. You can also add vitamins to the mysis but using products like Secon, Vitachem ect to soak the food in before feeding. Oh and I agree with Lymph
