It does look like mucus, but unlikely to be from the lionfish. Did it show up all at once, or did the spot grow larger over time?
This could be bacterial. Hyposalinity does have some minor risk, including bacterial infections from the stress it causes.

Thanks for the reply, I have a full quarantine setup which is good to go. My problem over here in England is trying to get hold of Kanaplex, can anyone suggest a UK alternative to treat bacterial infections?As indicated, it can stem from a lionfish sting but looks very much bacterial.
Place fish in quarantine setting which can simply be a an aquarium starter kit from Walmart (also petco has 1/2 price tank sale) and treat with Seachem Kanaplex
Absolutely- didnt realize you were in the UKThanks for the reply, I have a full quarantine setup which is good to go. My problem over here in England is trying to get hold of Kanaplex, can anyone suggest a UK alternative to treat bacterial infections?
Thank you for the suggestions, I've ordered some Myxazin.Absolutely- didnt realize you were in the UK
Waterlife Myxazin will work.
Also NT Labs acryflavine but will take longer
While i dont favor mixing meds, you can use both safelyThank you for the suggestions, I've ordered some Myxazin.
I'm going to start putting together a list of treatments and import them all in one go I think, it's a little too late when something happens.
My final question is the Qt has a Clownfish fish currently which has one week left in CP, it was placed in there as was really struggling with hypo.
How can I proceed to treat the puffer, place in the CP dosed QT tank and treat with Myxazin along with the clownfish (who doesn't need it).
Or cut the cp short by a week with the clownfish (bad case of ich) and try and place back into the DT mid hypo — then treat the puffer in the Qt?
Thanks, appreciate it's not ideal but will go down that routeWhile i dont favor mixing meds, you can use both safely
