Crud I wasn't watching this tank well enough and both of my Trimacs have been very aggressive with the matting ritual. (Though no eggs...)

They didn't give any signs off anything wrong, except today while doing their water change I see this all over them...

My current plan is to just keep the water clean and hope it will go away.

If anyone has any clue what is could be please do tell...

I am doing the salt/water change. And since it isn't a parasite I don't raise the temp. (IE there are a lot of bacterias that if you raise the temp you just make it kill the fish a lot faster.)
 
I can't see how I would get Columnaris, when I haven't put in a fish/changed anything in the last year or so... Plus it really isn't big and puffy. Obviously I am going to keep a close eye on it just to be safe, but I am hoping it is just some small infections caused from the two fish hurting each other.
