HELP with BTA

[Shotscane]

So i have purchased this bta yesterday. Around his mouth he has white chunks around his mouth that become detached. Ive read on other post to be concerned when its a white stringy discharge but i cant find anything about white chunks. Also the shrimp i have will not leace him alone and picks at him. Tried to feed him a siverside as well as krill he wasnt interested in eating. He's also not as expanded a he was yesterday. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I can't really tell what's going on from the pictures you posted but I can tell you that for now, you need to keep the shrimp away from the BTA. It might be aggravating the condition. If there is anything near the mouth of the BTA that just hangs there you need to softly blow it away from the mouth to keep from causing an infection. I use a turkey baster for doing this. If you don't have a sump area or somewhere to house the shrimp for now, you might want to consider caging it in an acclimation box or something for a little while.
