My coral beauty that is under hyposalinity has cotton ball looking things (lymph?) on his fins and on the side of his body. He seems healthy and eats well. What can I treat him with and should I wait till after the hyposalinity treatment is completed?

Thanks!

First, you want to make the proper diagnosis. Some photos may help identify what this is:

No known cure if it is Lymphocystis, but I’ve known the Neon Blue Goby (Elacatinus oceanops) to actually eat it off of some fishes. This is rarely fatal IF the aquarist takes positive action. This is a virus and usually hangs around the fish. Fishes that are weak or not getting the proper nutrition or are under considerable stress (or a combo of these) usually get this infection.

Check all water parameters, and test water for contaminants and poisons. Remove as much stress from the fish as you can and be sure to be feeding it properly. Get it on the right nutrition with vitamin and fat supplements. See this post on nutrition:

Hello Leebca, thanks for the reply. That is what he has so other then diet and water quality there is no medication that will take care of it?

Correct.
