This does not look like a classic image of lymphocystis, not on the edges of the fin or irregular enough.

I'm really not sure if it's lymphocystis or not, but since he shows no signs of illness other than the spots I just know thay they seem as if one could take them off easily...

Where a cleaner shrimp is apt to be dinner, you might try a true cleaner goby: they're small and fast, and might be able to stay out of the way. The downside is that they can make themselves a pest, and if you get the false cleaner, well, that's just a PITA.

A pest?? really? why?

Stephen,
In your opinion can lympho spread to other fish? According to Noga it may but it sounded like it was not highly contagious.

I would defer to Noga. Lymphocystis has not been widely studied. We don't know if it spreads easily from fish to fish or if all fish have it and it only manifests itself under stressful conditions.
