Dojo small lump

Hello, I have a beautiful dojo named loci. He has a little lump almost like a bite that healed. No issues, same color as him. No unusual behavior and has had it for a few weeks. Should I be concerned?

yes photos' are a must here. Dojos are generally peaceful but they can sure nibble pretty hard on my arms when I put them in their tank. I had one that had a small part of his side that was missing scales and kind of peeled back. The only other fish in the tank with the DoJo's are a small bunch of Rainbow fish that, i'm sure are sick of the Dojos (I have 6). Trying to find a good buy on a 100 gallon tank with stand that will be Dojo's only. They are all 8-12" long and pretty wide around, like a snake that has eaten too much. I think everybody will be happier if the DoJo's are out of their lives and they really do need 100 gallon tanks to thrive. Anyway - my point is that the wound is healing up nicely - maybe because it's a surface wound.
