saw this in a Fishstore today

Looked like hole the head but it would be the 1st African cichlid that I’ve seen with it.

Any thoughts?

Looks like ich from what I can see with all the little white spots? Odd that it's just around the head though. Or is the whole area there eaten away a bit?
 
More curious b/ I thought it resembled HITH and have only seen it on South American Cichlid.

No chance on buying it lol.

Have seen a lot of ich and never seen it eat the flesh off a fish - has to be something else. Any other thoughts?
