Those "Things" are found only the head region or spreading? You have to check it out post more pics so that the medics here can give you better professional advice. Get those water parameters readings are important! Cheers!

hi bro,

from the pic, seems it scratch it top side, can have pic on the top view?
just a suggestion, do a water change and add in 0.3% of salt, while waiting for the medics to respone to ur aids.

takecare

Bro fish_nut, your aro recovered? No news from you is presumed to be good news!

Bro, seem to me is abrasion on its head. Think most likely it hit something on the surface of its head and part of the skin came out. Anything in your tank that may cause this?
