Broken spine

[Manofathousandpolyps]

I just picked up a Long Nose Butterfly a couple hours ago.

When I got home I noticed two of its dorsal spines are broken up near the tip. Im not sure if this happened before or after I got him. I didnt notice it at the LFS.

Is this anything I need to be concerned with?

The dorsal spines will be fine. Typically this fish is very short lived in a hobbiest aquarium though. Don't take it personally if it doesn't live more than a few months.
