Hello, I am new to the monster fish community!

I've had my lungfish for several months now and everything has been great - he's been lively and eating well. However, a couple days ago I noticed this white bump on his right side - a little past his arm. I have no idea what it is but it hasn't seemed to effect his moods or activity. Would anybody be able to enlighten me as to what this is and how I should treat it?

This is the best I could get with pictures.
