Help - my blenny looks fuzzy :(

My 12 g nano has been up for a year now. My tailspot was added in May of last year & the goby in July of last year.

The goby is mostly in the den w/ the pistol, so his appearance & behavior is difficult to comment on. He was unseen for a week or 2 & now back to making a daily appearance. Does not seem to be breathing heavy & eating well. I don't notice any apparant lesions or white spots.

The blenny does on occasion rub on the rocks, not daily & it's not a constant thing. I wasn't initially worried because I saw that they can do that to mark their territory.

Today I notice what looks like some small white/pale cream fuzzy spots on the left side of the blenny. The right side looks fine, fins look fine too. He is breathing fine & eating ok. Acting normal & quite active.

Can someone with more experience chime in with what I am dealing with, bacterial, fungal? I don't know that this is an ich outbreak so I am thinking it is something else.

What is my best option for treating this? I have inverts so I will be setting up a hospital tank for both fish.
 
It appears that the fuzz is no longer on my fish. The only thing I can think of is that he swam into a thread that the vermitids threw out looking for food & it stuck to him for a short time.

I'll keep on eye on him to make sure that's all it was. Sometimes I think this hobby is going to shorten my lifespan much more than my love of vodka will lol
