Had lymphocytis on one of my fish a few years back. Raised the temp 2 degrees F and it slowly went away. HTH

my naso has one white spot about 3mill in diameter above its eye and its bottom lip looks white and deteriorating. it is eating not loosing weight and still its own self. i came to this conclusion through some research on the web. ususally with a bacterial infection the fish is sluggish or losses its appetite and tries to hide.here are some pics.

I had a Blood Parrot Cichlid once that overcame it. Took about 4 months or so, but it did go away. I had it on a Pleco once also.
The best description for lymphocystis that I have come across is that it sort of looks like cauliflower...and it does sort of. But this is FW I'm talking about. I'm not sure if it's different with SW fish.

HTH,

How long have you had the fish ?

i have had the fish for 2 years now and he has never been sick. i have never had a sick fish in salt water. i havent introduced anything new into my tank either.
