[Sangreaal]

Anybody remember Jumanji, the scrawny 6" GR Ochiba I bought (and posted pics of here) back in March? S/he's 13" now, and the colors on its head is changing yet again--or at least I thought that was going on, until I was taking some pics yesterday and noticed a raised round grey patch on the left gill plate. Jumanji let me touch and inspect it, and the patch IS raised and is very rough, spikey almost, like a cat's tongue.

What on earth IS this?





Sorry about the poor pics and glare. If I could just get someone else on the camera while I hold the Ju, I could get a good close up.

Notice that on the right gill plate a similar spot emerging, but this one is smooth leather, not kitty-tongue sandpaper rough.
