L144 red pectoral spine

My L144 just starting to bristle up had a super bright red right pectoral spine. Only the one on the right. fish seemed happy. was using the fin, the fin did not looked scraped just turned deep red. Any ideas?

its sounds like a knock and an internal bleed mine get this from time to time. just watch for any other red marks if their is any signs of more red appearing on the body then its an infection

Today all redness has disapeared. No signs of injury back to orange. how wierd is that? was a very bright blood red color, and as fast as it apeared, it disapeared less than 24hrs. I should've gotten a picture

it normaly takes a couple of days to go if its a knock my spare albino males get them some times

Happens to my large male aswell, but i goes as u say

Cool then glad to hear it. Do you think its a bump bruise like moderator deano or no. I seem to think not, no disrespect deano
just that it really didn't look like an injury.

so what do you think it could have been??
i can only say what i know happens to my own fish and seen it happen first hand.

Yeah wish I knew I rekon it most likely could have been an injury but it seemed to come from inside the skin if you will. The fine bristle texture of the fin's spin did not look mollested and the color was just as bright on top of fin as under fin. And it "healled" so quickly, didn't fade but was there then not there. I'll keep an eye on it and update if it happens again.
Thanks for the help
