White dots on some fish.

I have two Hippo Tangs and a Dogface Puffer that have lots of white dots on them. They look like they are becoming fuzzy velour from the 70's.
I lost a Moorish Idol Butterfly fish to the same thing last week.
Is it some kind of parasite build up?
Any ideas?

one thing that i noticed is that you have 5 different species of clown-fish. in most cases 2 diffrent species is setting up for a war in your tank yet 5 id look into that...and am i right that you have 85 fish in that tank

Try feeding them garlic. Get a crusher add some fish flakes and a clove of garlic and crush it up and feed.
Garlic, like to humans helps fish and there immune system. Regenerates their slime coating to protect against ICH and VELVET
Did this with my fish and got rid of ich in a week, now feed once a week and never had it back

I would never be so obnoxious to say, "if you're poor, don't try this". That's just disgusting. Why not just piss in my face while laughing?

I would say, "If you don't have enough experience to try this without asking for advice on a message board, don't try this".

This problem is marine fish disease 101. Go back to the end of the line and read up.. It's not the money you spend, as you now know. It's the research and knowledge.
