That's probably an irritation fibroma.

That's probably an irritation fibroma. I wa going to say granuloma. Maybe a little different histologically, but basically 6 of one, a half dozen of the other. It is a localized response to tissue irritation or foreign body.

May be where you put your finger when it was tagged. Slime coat damaged , scale possibly damaged or removed and ... irritation fibroma/granuloma.

That can happen anytime a fish is handled. I would not worry about it though. It looks in good condition otherwise.

rub gently with a Tucks pad and feed soft food, should be good to go in a few days.

Looks like a granuloma to me, but could also be a fibroma.
