white patch & bump on my haddoni

My haddoni hasn't been too happy lately since I turned my flow up to accommodate my gigs. She never deflated but she hasn't been as open as she used to (recent thread I created). I noticed tonight while adding my final carpet anemone to complete my carpet cube she had a white patch and bump near her mouth. I'm not sure if that signs of bleaching so I raised my T5 fixture up to 12" off the water surface. I also had a dying mini max carpet in there I wasn't aware was in that bad shape until I removed her from her rock and noticed there was a hole between her mouth and foot which would make me believe maybe she got sick from that and possibly the haddoni caught it? Again I'm not sure so any feedback would be appreciated (as usual). Everything looked to be going great I'm a bit upset. I have cipro and a 10 gallon tank if needed but I'm no expert. Also one of my many sexy shrimp was on her cleaning that area. There was something on there I blew off and I wonder if it's flesh?

One of my gigs had it. It did fine for a little while with it. It died eventually after I added Chemipure Elite to my system. Not sure if the white bump was a sign of sickness or not.
 
yes it was sick. I have a mini maxi that had a bad wound which was dying (I didn't notice it was that bad) which caused it I think. My gigs seem find and are sticky (keeping an eye on). The red haddoni took a turn for the worse this morning as he was floating around my tank and not sticky at all so I removed him and will administer a cirpro treatment and pray that helps. Unfortunately I have a Aquaclear 70 that is too powerful for him in the 10 gallon tank. Every time I turn it on he holds on with all he has. With no flow he attached to the glass but with flow he just hangs on barely. I need to get a smaller filter after work. This will be my first time treating so we'll see what happens. I'm not even sure if the cipro will work though.
 
White patch is nothing unusual. I don't see the bump. Are you talking about the last photo? In the mouth?
 
The second to last photo in the white patch area there is a small bump difficult to see but you can spot it with good eyes
