blue line triggerfish with lump on chin

[triggs]

Hello, can someone help my blue line trigger. On his chin, there is a lump. Nothing on it, it's his skin, but it seems like there is a bubble under it making the skin pop out. Can someone help? Thanks!

Triggs;
Can you give us some more info? whats going on in the tank, does this trigger chase food into the rockwork? does he have tankmates he beefs w/?
whats the tank like, setup water paramters, tankmates, etc. All this will help.
Sounds to me that your blue line got a lesion on his chin from bumping into something

he fights with my clown trigger every now and then. But besides that he is very peaceful. Right now hes in a 55, BUT the yare all small and are moving in my 250 gallon tank within a week or two. The filtration is good, and the readings are excellent.

My bluejaw trigger has a lump on his chin. He has been startled a couple times when I entered the room and darted into the glass. I would guess your trigger has hit the glass or rock. Mine has had his lump for over a week and it hasn't gone away yet. I'm not positive about this diagnosis but it's my best guess.
