Default lionfish with white puffy mouth

Can anyone tell me what might be the problem with my lionfish? He has a puffy white growth on his lower lip that seems to be growing. Other than this he seems to be healthy, has good color, is eating, and swimming around the tank. We heard that this might be caused by low salinity, so we added salt a couple of days ago, but this hasn't seemed to help. Any suggestions you can provide will be appreciated.

specific gravity is 1.025
all other chemicals look fine
I'll see if I can get him into a position where I can take a good photo

Thanks for your response!
