Problem with 8 lines Wrasse's Mouth, Need help please!!

[sailfish]

I have an 8 line wrasse that has developed a problem with his lower jaw of his mouth. He still eats like the little pig that he is, but his mouth doesn't look right. It appears that part of his lip as you would call it is missing and there is a white growth in its place. Could someone please help me identify this and what the treatment would be for the wrasse. I'm going to try and post a picture in the members gallery to help with the identification.

HI sailfish,

Look up Lymphocyctis and see if that is what your little guy has.

Hi, I can't tell what your fish has, but there is a product called Marayn Plus. It is an antibiotic for the mouth, fungus, and several other diseases.
