I've seen new shipments of common Plecos arrive to my LFS with similar white growths, that proved to be harmless & temporary. Possibly a reaction to elevated ammonia.
IMO, As long as the Pleco is eating & otherwise acting normally, just concentrate on keeping the water clean & observe for any changes in the Plecos condition.
Thanks, super helpful, I’ve had it for a couple years ago so will hope for the best and keep an eye on it.A201 said:Normally I'd suspect the problem to be an injury w/ fungus or a bacterial infection.
