Watchman Goby In QT tank and obtained from LFS 14 days ago. I have noticed that there is a internal live parasite, just below his skin and it has not broke the surface of his body yet.. but has created a area that appears to be hollow under the skin. This parasite does move and visable by the naked eye. Top of his head is pale white in 2 places and are small patches only. He is eating very well and active. What is this parasite? and how do I treat it. I am going to start Prazi !!..I am concern this might turn into a open ulcer..should I be? and is it contagious ? Thanks first time dealing with this....

Very difficult to discern from the pic, but I do see a large bump in the abdomen area. Can you post your water readings and include salinity, temp, pH, nitrite and ammonia.
