Got another sick fish in QT :( Going to have to start buying only qt'd fish I guess and then qt.
Trying to figure out what he has. Will start a fish disease post later today.
Something on the Sailfins fins.. So hard to get a good pic of this guy. Not a photo bomber for sure!!

Almost looks like Lymphocystis. If that is the case, not much to do besides feed well, supplement vitamins and keep water pristine.

I know zip about fish diseases but I have read about this, as Steve said diet and water quality, what are you feeding?
In the Morning i feed , Formula Two Pellets from Ocean Nutrition and Seachem NutriDiet Shimp flakes. At night I feed PE and regular Mysis and brine. Once or twice a week I add a green seaweed Sea Veggies sheet.

Just my opinion you need to add more veggie things, Ocean Nutrition formula 2 flake with garlic is one of my staples.
Fresh macro, not cheato elastic banded to rubble might help. they like to graze.

looked at https://humble.fish/lymphocystis/ and yes thats what it looks like :(
More macros and once out of copper, will start to get better as long as fish is fed well and water stays good. It is a common problem in sailfins when doing copper and their appetite goes down due to it. Just keep doing what you are doing and it is only a concern if it gets near the gills or mouth.
