I just saw this thing growing on one of my firefish and I was wondering what this might be. Is this natural? They have only been introduced to the tank two days ago and I have not noticed anything abnormal before this

Yeah. The thing looks like a key sticking out of the fish.
Is it sticking out from the side or the middle of the bottom of the fish? A prolapse would be directly in the center, an injury or some other internal process would be on the side
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
