can you provide a pic or a vid?

Sorry it took so long time! got a pic its not good but better that nothing!

Hello, welcome to the forum. Can you provide us with some more information?
Tank size? Tank mates? How was the tank cycled? Water change schedule? Treated for ip?

Its a 250 L hes alone in there and its been active for at least a half year so it should be cycled!
Edit: and i have threated him against IP with bloodworms soaked in Kusuri Wormer Plus but that was a while ago, could IP show up as a spot like that on the lip?

Does the spot seem raised or does it look like different colour pigment

Well i think its a little raised but i can't be sure as its on the tip of his lip and that part might be raised normally to? And its darker compared to the rest of the body!

Is this new or has he always had it? Almost looks like one of his spots on his lip.

Ditto that. He smokes too much

Found a old picture of him and there he doesn't have the black spot so its new, as i suspected!
The question is, is it any thing dangerous or did he just hurt him self on a snail or some thing?

I would just keep an eye on it, it shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Maybe a new spot developed on him.
