Definitely not Ich. This appears to be a "node" of some type, possibly a fungus, that may be the result of a sore. This is usually not too serious and may not even require in tank treatment. A bath with a drop of Methylene Blue directly applied may help (potassium permanganate may be a little stronger for this than MB, but is not best for direct application). If you were to treat your tank, Medicated Wonder Shells, Triple Sulfa, Pimafix. even Copper Sulfate ( Aquarisol) may help (do not combine them all, these are just multiple suggestions). Carl

It don't really look fuzzy, but I just noticed this this morning. So a 30 min MB bath and how would I go about putting a drop on the white patch? Thanks a lot Carl your great...What would I/we do without you??

a fungal infection doesn`t necessarily look fuzzy....especially in the early phases. as far as a drop on the tail, when you move him to the hospital he`ll be on his side in the net. then just add a lil drop at that time....
