Fish w/spikes in its side, Bristleworm?

[FBNitro]

Well they're gone this morning, there's a couple marks left behind. I have no idea what they are/were. I haven't seen any sort of parasite that (searching the web) looks like that.

They are rigid, they didn't sway at all while the fish was swimming around etc. The almost look like bones, but they wouldn't be gone today if that's what they were.

I dunno, my royal gramma ran afoul a large bristleworm last year, and he looked like a dog who'd played with a porcupine. They eventually fell out with no help from me.

Maybe an anchor worm, not a good parasite.

Next time I see it I'll FW dip the fish, see what happens.
