Bumbs on a Blue Hippo

I have had her since she was about 3/4" and now 31/2-4" she has always had a couple little bumbs on her side but nothing white. I noticed yesterday that the spots have turned white and today she has a couple on her fins. My tank is a 215 with total of 280 total. I have a very peaceful group of fish and all have gone through a QT. Is this ICK. She eats great and swims the tank with no noted problems. She has also moved her cave to a much tighter spot. I have read that the hippos get little bumbs on them and may even turn a little white from rubbing on rocks but they have appeared on the fins. Any thoughts. I will get a picture up tonight. Thanks
 
Looking forward to the picture. My Hippo gets abrasions from wedging into her sleep spot at night on occasion and they do turn white sometimes. They are usually gone in a couple of days.
 
Yeah, my wife used to think anytime a white spot showed up on our tang it was ich. It'd be like 1-2 spots that looked like a bristle from bristleworm. Still eat, swim, etc. with the other fish and would disappear after a day or two.
 
My hippo gets these spots also. I wouldnt worry to much about it. I feed garlic with my food to help with immune system. Hasnt become a big issue with mine.
