When something like this happened to me, I would do small water changes. And the red shrimp regularly cleaned the Helmon.

There is a Lissematia amboinensis in this aquarium.

Aleksey, how are your helmon grains doing? Have they dissolved or not? Mine seem to have all dissolved, but new ones appeared again yesterday. I really don't know what to do. The other fish seem to be fine, but about five days ago, one of my nemo fish had a brown spot on its dorsal fin. Thanks to Yanovsky for the advice; I caught it, scraped it off, and cauterized it with a potassium permanganate solution, and everything healed.

The tail has become smaller, and the nose has darkened, it might fall off. I spoke with him, and he said that this often happens with the Helmans after delivery, and the spots will fall off within a month.

my helmon has the same parsley.............

Odessa, did you actually purchase from this same shipment?

Yes, by the symptoms, this is lymphocystis (LYMPHOCYCTIS). Let experienced aquarists correct me if I'm wrong.

Without a few photographs, it is very difficult to define the disease. As far as I know, lymphocystis does not need to be treated separately. It usually occurs due to stress and a weakened immune system (after transportation). Good water quality, plus UV, minimal stress, plenty of hiding places, diverse nutrition, and everything will be fine with your fish. Here is a link about diseases.
