So now that the new fish are out and about...eating, and no longer hiding; I noticed a bump on the larger dominant male's lip. I believe it is an abrasion from a rock or w/e, but I just wanted a second opinion. His behavior is boisterous and he is one of the best feeders. He does not seem ill at all...water quality is good so if it is just a nick it will heal fast. I do get a little paranoid because many years and many tanks ago I had a case of Lymphocystis.

looks similar to an oscar's chin pimple, something they get from digging or rubbing on an object.
 
So is it transient or more of a permanent thing?
