i just got a batch of pygmy cories today and i just noticed one of them has this yellowish white ball in the corner of its mouth. im worried what this is? do i need to remove him to quarentine?

what is this? first ive ever seen this.
 
I'm honestly not sure but it almost looks like a cyst. It could have been caused by bad water quality from being shipped or from the store.

Really clean water will help, if there is no change in a week I would try a general cure treatment in a qt
 
Whatever it is, you should we your fish no matter what. This will keep your display tank bug free
