My new addition is looking rough. Not getting harassed and hides in a cave half the time. All other fish appear normal. The little hairs on the mouth and head are concerning.

Ipics best under white light intensity but if it has bristles attached, just leave them- will fall off on it’s own
Attempting to pull off can lead to infection or bleeding
