Ok that was easier than I thought to find what I was told earlier.
Quote from Myka (whom always seems to know something about everything, very smart gal)
"That is not ich, that is Lymphocystis virus. Do a Google on it. It's not treatable, but isn't very detrimental, it tends to go away on it's own, but can take several months. It's good to keep them in QT though because when the virus falls off it can move to another host. While it's on the fish though it is not contagious. It's common on clowns and particularly yellow tangs for some reason. You should not be treating them with any medication for this."
Hope this helps.
