Sailfin tang sick?

I noticed this blemish on the right side of the sailfin tang yesterday which he did not have the day before. Does anyone know what it could be? The blemish is about a quarter of an inch around and doesn't seem to be affecting breathing or stressing him out. I'm not sure if it is bacterial or parasitic. In the picture below you can see it looking like a whitish ring around a fleshy color spot. Please help if you may have seen this before so it doesn't progress. So far behavior and eating is normal.

Hexamita parasite is the only thing I could find that could be a cause. My water quality is pretty good so to see this is a surprise. If anyone has had this parasite please let me know if it is comparable.
