He is eating well, acting normal and the other fish are normal. Any ideas? He is my" little guy" aka...Capt Neil! Want him happy! :notsure:

Let me clarify.....yes, he already had white lips, but they are now puffy!

Sounds normal for a kole tang, since he is always using his mouth to pick at algae.

I know..I thought the same, but they look SO different than usual...my hubby says it is just irritation...thanks for replying

 

[lion_crazz]

Sounds like irritation to me as well.

I just looked at him again...close up...the "white" looks like teeth in his mouth!
