Parasitized?

Hi, I have a question about a few Gouramis that my boyfriend had purchased a few weeks ago – when they first were put in the tank, I noticed that one of the Gouramis (V) had whitish translucent raised circles on its head, approximately 3 mm in diameter. In the center of each round growth there was a dark brownish line running down the center, but not extending all the way to the edges. Both appear to have a gel-type texture. Last night, one of the growths fell off and was presumably floating around the tank, though we couldn’t see it. However, this morning V no longer had any bumps on the head, BUT both bumps seem to have migrated to another fish (K)! Can you tell me what this might be, and whether it needs to be treated? Thanks. There’s a hole in my Gourami 1/21/06 Hi Crew
