Default Help Kole Tang Sick :(

My Kole tang has what seems to be 2 bones coming out on the back of him almost at his tail area. I have never seen it or heard about it before. Is this common? Will he die? Been that way for 3 days now and he seems very agitated.

This pic is the best I can do with this camara and his none stop moving.

Tangs are called tangs because of two "barbs" at the base of their tails just before the body starts. They are used for defense and attack.

Hopefully that is all you noticed.
