Welcome to the boards!! Can you please give us much more information? How long have you had him? What sized tank is this and how long has it beed set up? What are your current readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, sg, and temp? Has he been eating, if so, what has he been eating? Could you post a picture of this?

Do you have nitrite or nitrate? If you have nitrite then you have to find out why. The temp and sg are a tad low. They should be 1.026 and 79-80 degrees. Do the brown lumps stick off of the body or just dark areas on his surface?

Not likely, fungal infections are extremely rare in SW fish. Please take a close look and answer my previous question. A picture would seriously help here.
