Potential Ich ID please

Hello all,

My Purple Tang has two small white dots on his tail, but also has a small piece missing from it as well.

A small ricordia coral was added about 5 weeks ago, but that is it.

The only thing of note happening in the tank recently is a checkerboard wrasse being caught due him becoming violent in the tank. I couldn't find the answer to this question, but the white spot is most definitely raised off the skin and I dunno if Ich does that or if it appears flat.

Below is the picture (sorry for quality):



Any information would be appreciated. I can catch him easily enough, but obviously don't want to treat him for something he does not have. This will also be the first signs of Ich in the tank.
 
Looks more like Lymphocystis to me, but hard to be sure without having any size reference. If the spots go away after 3 to 6 days it's likely ich. If they stay and get larger it is likely Lymphocystis.
