Your fish is beautiful. Sorry you're having problems. Sounds like some type of fungus or could he have scraped himself on something? I don't have salt tanks myself so I don't want to lead you astray. I'm sure some other members with salt tanks will answer you shortly. Hope all goes well for your buddy!

It sounds like Fungus but hard to tell from the picture.
