Possible parasite?

[WhitePanther93]

So my mccoskers flasher wrasse lately has had this tiny little white lines towards his back. To me they kinda look like some sort of worms.

the fish in question seems totally fine otherwise. He’s swimming around nicely and he’s still eating.

I tried to get a pic but he’s moving around so much and my phone has a hard time focusing on him.It’s still hard to see but I tried.

Any input is welcom

IDK - I do not see anything clear from the video. I would watch - or you could treat with prazipro

Can’t open video on my phone but are you able to post a couple of pics under white lights?

Not really no.

This fish is a pain in the butt to take pictures of.

It looks like the lines are outlining the edges of the scales to me. Does it look like that in real life? If so, that seems very similar to the other thread, just a little less severe.
