Bristleworm spiked my fish

[Jxw6963]

Woke up this morning and found my Midas Blenny in a weird spot sitting on a rock. Then noticed he was covered in bristles on his one side.

Anything I should/ can do?

Yea, I actually just got done moving my tank to a new house this week and should have taken him out. Never had an issue before with him in there

The bristles typically fall out and the fish heals on its own, but I would watch to see if it gets any worse. If you have any concerns, the R2R #fishmedic team may be able to help.

Good luck!
