Disease or Munching on Bristleworms?

[jefra]

I see a white growth suddenly and freak out like anyone. When looking closer, it looks like splinters/bristles rather than any sort of infection. So I'm thinking my royal gramma might have snacked on some bristleworms. Can someone confirm?

Got its mouth into something for sure
If you can net it, try to remove with tweezers

Something got it's mouth, my guess would be bristleworm of some sort. If it's eating and otherwise seems alright, I'd leave it alone. I suggest this based on my own experience of trying to catch one of these little beauties. If you can catch it easily, by all means pull the spines. But in my system, catching it would be pretty stressful.

Yeah, it'd be impossible to catch it. It loves to hide in the tiniest little grooves and caves.

Thanks all.
