Does anyone know if this is injury-related, or a disease state?

I'm not seeing anything alarming.
These spikes are different than the others. Just wondering what might be the reason. I got these plecos a couple of weeks ago, quarantining right now.

Might be as simple of a reason as maybe the spikes got caught in a net. I used cups, but don't know how the other guy caught the fish.

He should be alright. Keep the water clean and observe over the next few weeks. Plecos are pretty hardy
 
Nothing to be alarmed about K...this will happen when they fight, or get caught in a net. I used a rubber net when I caught them, so the stress was minimal, but its possible.
