Growth on side of 6 line wrasse??

Can someone help me identify what my wrasse has? Its two raised white bumps that look like pimples. And help would be appreciated, thank you.

oi not sure what that is. It looks almost like a parasite under the skin. Or a simple abrasion. Do you have a Q-tank set up? Can you get him out of the main tank?

never seen that before. How long have you had the six line?

 

Ive tried to catch him but its impossible. Ive had him about a month. The bumps have grown on him over like the last 4-5 days.

 

Its a parasitic copepod.

 

Thank you, Do you know a way to help the fish with this condition. Thank you once again for your help.

 

might wanna try dipping it in iodine, let geek instruct you.

 

geekdfied, do you know of a treatment for the parasitic copepod's? Once again thanks for the identification.

 

Freshwater dips, fomalin dips, furan2 dips, the list goes on and on.

 

How about some Proactiv?

Just kidding here are some links i found on google.
