Clownfish lymphocystis?

So a couple of days ago i noticed a small white lump near the chin of my clownfish i researched and think its lymphocystis but not 100%. The clowns are quarantined from my Local LFS the pair I bought have been in the tank for around 2 months it's still eating and playful and the white lump has not spread ill add a picture but its only small and its the best i could do

Just keep feeding it good food and provide pristine water conditions and the fish's own immune system will take care of it.

Clownfish lymphocystis?

Could be clownfish pimples, which is a mild bacterial infection. I had a clownfish grow a "beard" and tried treating it with antibiotics and dips to no avail (although acriflavine bath removed some of it). Eventually, it just went away on its own.
