Tiny piece of umbilicus?

Just had my super pastel male out looking at him and looked at his belly button. He seems to have a tiny bit of dried umbilicus still stuck to him. He has been eating, pooping, peeing, acting fine. He is a 166 grams and his sister, who is about 140g, has no umbilicus at all left.

Is this something to be worried about? Will it fall off on its own? Any easy ways to get it off?
Maybe I'm worrying too much but I'm just watching out for my little guy.

Itd be easier if you had a photo to judge by. ;)

A picture would help, yes :)

166 grams is kind of old to still have some umbilicus attached. That usually comes right off with the first shed. Are you able to take a pic and share it?

I will Sunday! My phone broke last night and I can't get a picture. But Sunday I will, stay tuned!

Alright here is the best possible pictures I could get. They show it the clearest.
Like I said its on his scar where his umbilicus cord was, it just looks like a scab. Any pointers? :/

As long as that scab doesnt rub off before it's healed fully, you'll probably be fine. It looks to be healing pretty well to my untrained eye, but since he is so big, I'd say watch it for signs of complications.

It doesn't look bad, if you have betadine on hand you could dab a little of that on it daily. I'm not a breeder or anything but we use it in nursing on scabs usually surgery scabs to help prevent infection and it seems to help speed up the healing a bit.
