Just did some reading....sounds exactly right. Water conditions are very good.....Slight PH change from LFS where recently acquired. I will just wait and see....do the modules ever recede or drop off or is it a permenant deformity?

is spot on. It is viral. They say it will go away but with my experience with kois, it will reappear like carp pox. It comes back year after year disfiguring the fish.
