Tumor on yellow headed sleeper goby

He is a pretty new fish, got him about 2 weeks ago. I noticed he had a small bulge on his side right behind his gill. over the past two weeks it has been growing. Now it is about the size of a pencil eraser. It is a kind of fleshy color, pinkish. He is eating fine and doesn't seem to be acting wierd at all. Any thoughts?

depending on what it looks like, id say its either a viral infection - tho they usually dont occur of gobies- or it's really a tumor. tumors can be benign or malignant... i would not worry about it if it's a tumor. just give the fish a happy life. not a whole lot you can do about it.
