We have a coral n fish tank. Our swallowtail is relatively new... about 4 weeks. He has developed a small white lump under his bottom lip. This is the best pic I could get as it makes his lips n lump glow. Is this lymphocystis or something else?

Well, the picture is rather poor, but I believe it's lymhocysistis. This is a fairly common viral disease treated by providing your fish with optimum environmental conditions. Good water quality, adequate tank space and living environment relatively free stress, and quality food.

I suspect stress is the culprit here. We will continue monitoring. Thanks for the response
