I just noticed this wound,Sore, on my Yellow Watchman goby while I was feeding the tank tonight. Side is a bit swollen. I have been searching online and really can't find anything.. Only thing i found that had one image that almost resembled but not the same was Lymphocyctis virus.
I put the info about this virus below and marked the one sentence in red and bold. Anyone want to chime in and give your thought on the photo of my goby?
Lymphocyctis virus. This virus induces massive cells to form which appear grossly as grayish-white masses on the fins and gills. Such abnormal cells may also be found in the muscle and body cavity.
May be confused with chlamydia infections (epitheliocystis), parasitic cysts or sarcomas. Infections are usually self-limiting and may spontaneously clear of their own accord.
Viruses appear to be very common in fish although not all are associated with disease. Treatment is rarely practical aside from provision of optimum conditions to allow the fishes' own immune system to deal with the infection.
