I purchased an Asfur Angel 3 days ago and today he has developed something I have never seen before.

The Asfur Angels have long trailing fins just like a Queen Angel and the lower fin has puffed up like a balloon.

The pet store was not best maintained and I acclimated properly, I soak my food (mixture of brine, mysis, cyclops and seaweed) every other feeding with vitamins and he was eating like a pig and his color was starting to become vibrant.

Now all he does is hide in the rock! Does anyone now what this is and if there is a reef friendly cure? I will disassemble tank to catch him if I need to, only a 36 gal Bowfront.

Very unusual. Do you have a lot of fine air bubbles in the water? Lyhpocystis looks more like small cauliflower or warts. The infected cells do swell, but maybe not like your fish. Can you describe the swollen fin in detail? It may be a bacterial infection, especially if the fish was recently netted or wounded.
