It looks like cauliflower on his top lip. What should I do? How long to heal?

They've found that dosing acyclovir at 200 mg per 10 gallons of water for two days suppresses the Lymphocystis virus. But you need a prescription for this.

As Autumn said, keep your water pristine with frequent water changes. Dose a bacterial medication one a week until your fish begins to handle the virus.
