Spots on my foxface!?

[Sophie"s mom]

Good afternoon everyone! Si I noticed these 2 spots on my foxface today! I have not added anything new in quite some time now, like months at least 6. I do have a tuxedo urchin and many corals and anemones. Can someone tell me what this might be. I do not have a quarantine set up. I am hoping that either @Jay Hemdal or @vetteguy53081 can come in and look at this for some advice. He is eating great, has a heck of an appetite!

We see this fairly often - I think they are either urchin spine stabs, or stings from some LPS coral. They seem to go away without treatment.

Whew! Thank you Jay! I was thinking the urchin too! I am crazy careful, even though I get all my corals from a good friend, I still dip them. This makes me feel much better. I do use Selcon in their food so hopefully that will help him out!
