Hey, how long have you had the trig for? Is it resting on its side or trying to maybe scratch the area where the bumps are? How is the breathing? Is it rapid? How is its eating? Does it still have an appetite? Any other fish in the tank? That way we can rule out certain parasites which can only spread from interaction. Where abouts on the triggers anatomy do they appear and are they in more than one place? If so, where did they first appear?
