Hi guys,

I started my new tank about 9 wks ago. It is a JBJ 28g LED. I'm using a poor skimmer from JBJ, have a back refugium at the back sump. Have about 30 lbs of live rock.
My bioload are a pseudochromis bicolor, red starfish and some hermits and turbos.

Well here's the thing. I added the bicolor to the tank abou 3 wks ago and did not passed over QT. I travelled this weekend and when I've returned yesterday Ive noticed some white spots at the fish, got his body, tail and mouth. The fish bouncing over the rocks and glass to take it off. It's eating normally and it's still very active.
I've been thinking about cryptocarium irritans but I'm not sure. It has a white tiny ball like sand on it's mouth but the rest of the body has larger white spots.
It's hard to take any picture but I took this one.

I'm planning to place a hospital tank this afternoon and try hyposalinity.

Please help me guys.
Thanks.

Another pic. Sorry for the bad quality. I'm taking it from the iPhone.

I've been watching the tank closely and found out that the rocks are covered by some cotton like filaments. Looks like funghus.
Could it be related with the fish?
Here's a pic.

Anyone, please?
