Strange white stuff on Body

[gomab14]

My emperor angelfish and some white "cotton" like stuff on his body and around the mouth. Can someone tell me what this is and how to get rid of it.

Need a picture, but it sounds like lymphocystis. A virus, kind of like a wart. Not much you can do to "cure" it other than maintain good water quality and feed well _sing vitamins/fatty acids like Selcon). It is not really contageous, so I would keep the fish in the display.

A photo would be very helpful. Possibities would include lymphocystis, Ich or Marine Velvet.

To help you identify it a little better-lymphocystis looks like white growths on the body (very irregular and tumorous looking), ich is small white dots spread out around the fish (many people compare it to salt grains), and velvet completely covers the fish in a "velvety" white sheath.
