What is this on my new firefish?

[Cinnimin]

I just got him Thursday, and I saw this Friday. To me it looks like a bubble on his left side, but he mostly faces me with his right side so I can’t often get a good view of it. Here is a link to the video I screenshot

Ps: his name is Zuko

Do you think it’s popeye?

I can’t tell much from the photo or video

This is what I am talking about sorry I didn’t get a good enough photo

it maybe from a scratch on a rock or an anemone sting. doesn't really look like a bubble.

Since you have had him for only a couple of days, is it showing any symptoms of parasite? trying to rub against rock or substrate?

It definitely isn’t rubbing against anything. He does perch on the sand, but he is always alert when doing so

If it doesn’t grow, it’s probably just got scratch from transport.

Update: its spread, theres more dots, a lot more. Should I take him back to the fish store?

This is the video that shows the bumps the best

You'll need to treat with prazi 2x, 5-7 days apart: https://humble.fish/praziquantel/
