Ouch may be flukes.
Best way to determin is freshwater dip. Taking a saltwater fish out of saltwater and placing it in freshwater will put the fish under a certain amount of stress, so keep an eye on the fish for signs of extreme stress (laying on the bottom of the treatment container and gilling rapidly). Agitating the treatment water will help to keep the fish moving around and reduce stress.
What You Need:
a- Fill a plastic container with an appropriate source of fresh water
- CLEAN plastic container large enough to comfortably hold the fish to be treated
- Fresh water (filtered or dechlorinated)
b - To prevent unnecessary shock and stress, try to match the temperature of the freshwater to that of the water from the fish's saltwater aquarium.
c - For the best results fish should remain in the freshwater for a duration of three to five minutes. If any fish is showing signs of undue stress after a 3-4 mins, remove it.
Look on bottom of continer after returning fish to display tank and see if you see what looks like fish scales or sesame seeds. Those are flukes
