Sorry for not thanking you about the research, i was preoccupied with having to pull what ever it is off the fish



. Squeezed it with the tweezers and it felt like a small peice if sand then it kind of crunched/cracked.

I hope you got some satisfaction with that crunch lol

Take a look it looks like whatever is there is part of the fish maybe just a weird growth and something was stuck to the fish ? To me it looks like the same color as the fish.

doesn't look like argulus from the picture. Do you have a picture of it pulled off?

It was too small to get a pic. It almost felt like it crunched almost like sand first brownish slime then dug a little and got the thing out
