Purple Firefish parasite?

Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my question. I had recently(~3 weeks ago) purchased a pair of Firefish from the same LFS. Both fish are eating fine and have acclimated well to my 72 gallon system. After about 1.5 weeks, I’ve started to notice a couple of small brownish-white bumps on the lower-interior lip of my purple Firefish. Since then, two protruding spike-like growths have stemmed from the bottom lip and seems to have somewhat made the bottom lip a bit swollen. Although I’m not sure, it does seem that the two protrusions each have a fuzzy tip.
