Looks to be lymphocystis. Add selcon and/or vita-chem to the food.

My swallow tail angel had it bad, took a couple months if I remember correctly to totally clear up. Keep water quality pristine as well.

just thought i should update...kept feeding with zoe,selcon..after a week the white lump went away but then top of his head,right below the top fin started decaying,,after 5 days a chunk about 1/4" was just gone...he went into hiding under his rock for a few days and has been MIA since...sucks..really loved this fish.no other fish show signs of what he had so i hope it wasn't contagious and just something specific to this fish..thanks guys.will post if he ever shows, but i doubt it.Happy new years!
