My golden ram has developed "worm" appearing infection on his body. We haven't been able to pin point the infection online. The closest thing we found was anchor worm, but the worms are not similar. At this point, we have been treating him with concentrated salt baths as if it's a parasitic infection. Some of the worms have protruded the surface, which my boyfriend has been able to remove with tweezers. Other "worms" are embedded in his slime coat. He was taken out of our community tank several days ago and placed in a QT for treatments. None of the other fish (rainbow fish, tetras, corys, etc) have this disease or symptoms.

Does anyone have experience with this disease? I have posted a recent picture of my ram. I'd love as much advice as possible!!
