What could it be?

I don't notice any other symptoms than the white cotton like clumps on the longhorn cowfish (he's about 3" long). These white spots have increased from 3 to what you see now over the course of the last 10 days. Other fishes include clown, yellow tang, clowns, seems ok.

Looks like lymphocystis. A Viral condition that normally clears up on it's own with good water quality, a good diet and low stress environment. It may get a bit worse before it gets better but I'm fairly certain this is what you're dealing with.

Thanks Jerry, I had a hunch that it might be Lymphocystis. I appreciate the response.
