Sounds like ICK to me..try some cleaner shrimp..I used to have a prob with it, but my cleaner shrimp pretty much kept it off of the fish..Some people will suggest chemicals..I would try the shrimp first IMO !!

did yoiu gradually increase the salinty or just up it real quick. that could defintly be the culprit. some fish don't take well to quick changes in salinty and yes, the ones that made it are very stressed and have ick.
do a search on ick on this site, there is tons of info out there depending on what is left in your tank.
