There is also a possibility that it could be a bacteria infection called a 'true fungus'.
If you see any evidence that the slivers are multiplying you will have to treat the fish so get a QT up and running in case.
I think they are probably bristles though.

They do not look like leeches. they stand straight up from the fish as opposed to laying against the body.

from the research I have done tonight, what ever is one my clown does not look anything like anchor worms. at least I did not find anything that resembles them.

They are so fine that my camera cannot capture them. I tried. Sorry but thanks. I hope it is just bristle worms bristles.

Looks like they may be gone. This morning I only saw one sliver like thing and now I can't see any. Not sure if it was something that worked itself out.... OR IN!! Not sure if the addition of a cleaner shrimp helped. All I am sure of is that it looks good right now.

Thanks for the input.
