blue spot jawfish question

[goaliedude]

I was looking at my tank today and noticed two medium to small sized white splotches on my bsj and was concerned that it could be harmful. I have heard of bsj disease and say some pictures but they looked different from mine. It is also strange because almost all the reports of bsj disease had some sort of behavior change and mine is behaving normally. He eats very well and the only thing I could think of is that MABEY he is stressed because he was recently kicked out of his burrow by an anthias and is at the front of the tank in the sandbed. Any thoughts?

I believe fish can get spots like this for many different reasons. Fighting, getting scratched by rocks and various things. We has humans get splotches or rashes from time to time. Not saying your jawfish is not sick, but if he is acting normal and eating then I would suspect that he is fine. :) Any pics?
