"Cyst" in Longnose Hawkfish
Hi,
Can anyone help me identify this strange "cyst" thing on my Longnose hawkfish. I noticed it and a change in behavior in that he wouldn't aggressively feed any longer. He also changed his perch spot. A few days after I first noticed it, he was just laying on a few rocks and wouldn't move unless I tried to catch him. Unfortunately, with my rockscape, I couldn't capture him and he died a few days later. I'd really love to get another, but I'd like to be more prepared. The cyst really never got much bigger and it seemingly appeared overnight. It looked to me like he was unable to fully close his mouth, but I couldn't ever quite tell if there was something stuck in there. https://photos.app.goo.gl/jSJ3HJz4VWgEgbkP8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/jSJ3HJz4VWgEgbkP8 Thanks for any help

Thanks.
Just my luck... Well he stopped eating maybe 3 days before he disappeared. A couple days after I first noticed whatever it was, I noticed he wasn't feeding as aggressively. Everything else in the tank looked okay. Is lymphocytosis contagious?

How long did you have the fish. If a recent addition it could be from improper acclimation.

Sadly, the fish we get through commercial channels have already been through god only knows what before they get to us and all to often, there is no explaining what really happened to them short of paying for a necropsy which most of us will never do. Choosing good sources and doing proper QT as you have done are the best methods of reducing casualties but ultimately, we never know what these fish have been through or the stresses they have endured prior to our acquisitions. And often times, it can take several weeks for the fish to succumb to those stresses. As such, the casualty rates will always be higher than most would expect. Especially when buying from a store unless they allow you to hold them there for long observation periods. I’ve been fortunate enough to get my fish direct from the wholesales which eliminates one more variable and reduces the casualty rates for me a bit. Granted, I don’t buy fish often these days as my tank is very well stocked with fish that I’ve had (for the most part) a long time.
