I bought a flame angel yesterday to celebrate my tank's six month anniversary and I'm really excited!!

I have it in quarantine right now, and I just want to make sure that what I've observed is normal. I seem to see a tiny "fin" coming off the lower portion of each gill cover, near the pectoral fins. They seem to be red where they're attached to the body and then more brown near the tips. Also, they seem to be identical and in the same spot on both sides. I can't get a picture because they're too small and the fish isn't still enough. Does anyone know if this is a normal "fin" that flame Angels possess? Thanks!

Ok, you can see them a bit in this video. The best viewing is when the fish is facing the camera head-on.sorry about the orientation, apparently it didn't save properly.
