Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Sorry, we need more history on this fish and the tank. Here is a link that explains all that:

Most likely though, this is an abscess, and it looks likes the fish has had it for a bit. The bellus angel seems to also have some damage to its left pectoral fin? The flagfin angel looks like it has a spot on its tail? Can you get clearer photos?

Thankyou. I got the fish about three weeks ago and when I got him I did not see any signs of the bump on him. The fish shop had him for 3 months and they said he was a healthy speiciam and was eating good. When I put him in the 125 g he Is really shy and timid. Still does not come out at feeding time to eat. My thought was he has to be eating something. Also the dot on the flagfin is the only spot on him. I'll try to get better images of the bellus but he is very shy.

Also I do have a Australian harlequin tusk with some spots on his fins. Some images to help with that.

Well, on the tuskfish, I can’t rule out those spots as being marine ich. That can be very serious if you aren’t able to treat with copper or hyposalinity.
