    Noticed this today on my blue/green chromis. It's swimming around with plenty of energy, ate normally, and doesn't seem to be scratching itself or acting any different. Is this from some kind of parasite or just an injury? I've had the fish since December and haven't added anything to the tank in months. Thanks.

    a fish zit? j/k - I'd say to just keep an eye on it and maybe it is just a bump.

    Today it's almost gone, whatever it was. The fish still is fine and acting normal.
