Exclamation Sailfin Blenny with white spot!

[IMG] photo Blenny with white spot_zpshsxbjevl.jpg[/IMG]

I noticed that my Blenny has a white spot on him when I fed him this morning, the spot is located in between his sail and body where is body start to curve in the picture, I am praying it not ich but being new and all I just don't have the experience yet to tell the difference between an injury and ich. He has been in that tank since 8/13/16 and has shown nothing being wrong.Any help is appreciated thank you so much!

Can't open picture but do you notice anymore spots. Ich normally won't be just one spot. I would watch it to see if you notice more. But I will guess it's not ich. But keep watching

I see only one spot and its in like a pyramid shape, a piece of it is sticking out away from the fish's body.

I'm guessing it's a grain of sand stuck to it's body. With ich, you see a lot more spots and more on the fins and tail.

Looks like the fish has rubbed up against something and it either injured itself . got in a battle with another fish or just sand as said above. does not look like its ich if you have not added anything to you tank since the date you got this fish its not likely ich ..
