Oh wow! He’s gorgeous 😍
From what I’m seeing in the picture, I’ve got good news for you! That’s just his genetics! It’s a bit like the genes that cause the crowntail fins, where the rays extend further out than the membrane does. I’m not seeing any fuzzy or rough fraying in that beautiful photo. The white tips are new growth that hasn’t been pigmented yet.
