Can anyone ID this growth on tangs mouth

Guys,
I picked up this juvenile Atlantic tang and put him in my QT on Saturday. Monday night I noticed a strange "growth" (?) on the side of his mouth, I don't think it was there when I bought him.

Can anyone ID?

Sorry about pic quality. The poor little fella is pretty skittish. He seems to eat well though.

The item the arrow is pointing to is a huge piece of something. If that is the correct something you are referring to.

I don't think anyone has seen a growth on a fish that big, so that is probably why no one is commenting.

you want to hear something crazy?? The growth is GONE. I went to get a better picture and it was just...gone. The thing was stuck to him for 4 days and it just disappears?
