White needles on wrasse

[will424]

Woke up this morning to my wrasse covered in white needles. Not really affecting him but does anyone know what they could be?

Tangled with a bristle worm?

Probably a bristleworm, they'll fall off today or tomorrow. The wrasse may start rubbing himself though so don't be too alarmed. Be on the lookout for infection, probably won't happen but just be prepared either way.
