Anthia lump/bump
I noticed one of my anthias being cleaned by my cleaner shrimp I then looked at him and noticed a small bump on his belly.
I can't get a picture could it be a parasite he has grown and fattened up since I bought him he is in the tank over 2-3 months now and they were the last fish I added. I have added some coral and shrimp, should I take him out and quarantine him? |

As long as the fish is eating well and behaving normally I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you think QT is needed, try to get a positive ID on what your seeing first.

He is eating cyclops like always very active and didn't look thin I have checked out some of the parasite pages and non of the images look like what he has.
Should I feed more than normal or keep things the same |

I would keep things the same. You might want to feed the fish something other than cyclops though. (if your not already) A varied diet is key. This will help boost it's immune system and keep the fish happy & healthy. GL.
