The thing is how to get the fish.
I trusted the seller too much so I introduced it to my DT tank without quarantine. The tank is 290g with full rock and coral. I have to figure out the best way to take the fish out.

I realise you recently acquired this fish so it probably has nothing to do with your water quality, but don't pollute your tank just yet.

I see the trailing bits you are talking about and agree it's definately not anything bacterial/viral.
Looks more like some kind of anchor worm or parasitic isopod.
If you can, I'd suggest you try to remove one with tweezers for inspection with a magnifying glass or microscope.
Sure you'll stress the fish, but I'd be concerned about getting it under control as soon as possible.
