White "Fluff" on Flame Angel Fin

[mjheverly]

My flame angel has a little white fluff (looks like stuffing from a cotton pillow) attached to the back of its fin. It's had for about 4 days now as I wanted to just watch initially. The fish is very active and social, constantly out of the rocks and picking at algea. He seems perfectly healthy except this fuzz on his back fin. I've attached the two best pictures I had after trying to take about 50, like I said he is moving just fine and very active.

Is this something I should be worried about or that anyone has any experience with?

Thanks

Mine was Healthy And Active like that one day.

Turned the lights out next day i turned them back on he was laying on his side hr later he was dead.

The fluff could be food? WIth flames id watch there coloring as a sign to sickness.

His coloring is completely normal. Very vibrant red, orange and yellow just that small piece of "fluff" at the end of one of his fins. Really curious what it could be as because I've given it enough time to go away or fall off if it was just food

Looks like it may be lymphocystis (virus). It is generally harmless and will go away with good water quality and nutrition.

Sounds good, thanks for the help. All water parameters are looking good today so I'll read up a little more on Dwarf Angel diets and make sure I'm feeding him the right stuff!
