I think your right. I got this from a web site...
Viral diseases
Viral diseases are probably more common than generally believed. One well-known virus disease is lymphocytis, which appears as small white, grape-like clusters on the fish’s body or fins. Fortunately, this infection is rarely fatal. At present, there are no chemical cures for viral infections of fish. The best advice is to keep the affected fish under optimum, stress-free conditions in the hope that its immune system will overcome the virus.
The tankmates are a peacock puffer, a small huma huma trigger, a clown fish, and a few damsels in a 45 gallon tank with 10 gallon refugium.
