Growth on severum

[stephcps]

So, I have had this severum for a couple of months now. It has a "growth" on one gill and now has a
protrusion" on either side. The protrusions have gotten larger. They are flesh colored and have what looks like skin or slime coat hanging off them. The gill is reddened as compared to the other, but not what I would call inflamed...more of a pinker, flesh color. It also has tissue hanging. This fish is active with a major appetite!! At first I thought these were injuries, but the have gotten bigger and have never improved.
So, what do you think this is? I should add that no other fish in the tank has anything like this

ANY thoughts?

They look like a cyst of some kind, but I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with this. http://www.nationalfishpharm.com/fish_diseases/gill_disorders.html lists some gill and fin disorders that may or may not help. A gorgeous and healthy looking fish, though, so may be nothing too serious.

Thanks for the link. I have combed the internet and can't seem to find any clues. He is otherwise very healthy appearing and acting!!
