Small white dots on Oscars fins

Hi there! My Oscar Morty is acting very healthy (eating, active, pooping normal, etc.) but I’ve noticed 2 white dots on one of his fins and a new white dot on the other side. The fin with two might just be from an injury as it seems like the “spines” (not sure what to call them) of the fin change angle after the dots but the other side just seems to be a white dot (although he did tear a bit of that fin nearby so perhaps it is a healing injury?) so I wanted to check in and see if I should be concerned at all. He is alone in cycled a 75gal tank running a Fluval 407 filter, 77.5F, with weekly 50% water changes.

Calcium deposits IMO. They seem 'common' in cichlids.
They may go away as quick as they come.
Not a infection IMO.

Ooh ok good to know! Is there something I can do to prevent them?

I agree, he looks healthy, not anything to be concerned about.
