Chromis with mouth fungus

My chromis appears to have a fuzzy cut under his bottom lip. It looks just like what you will see in the attached link (I can't get a good pic of him with my current camera) and he is hanging out at the bottom but eating good.

How should I go about treating him for mouth fungus or is it even worth it? I do have a fully cycled QT Tank. He is the only occupant (besides cleaner shrimp and snails) in my main tank. This won't effect the shrimp, right?

Will I have to wait 4-6 weeks before adding any more fish. I know this is true for ich but I am not sure about fungus infections.
 
Well after researching it appears to be Lymphocystis. I guess I need to let it run its course and hope for the best.
