I think my fish may have illness

My coral beauty has developed a white/silver residue on one side of her face. Below is a picture... any ideas?



TIA

Could be the on set of Marine Velvet? That's what happened to my fish before they died 2 days later, but then it could be its just rubbing against something. If it progresses further down the body quarantine all of your fish immediately, as it will kill all of your fish quickly if not treated. Good Luck.

Well...sad to say...she's in fish heaven now. I made a trip to the LFS to get some copper to try to help her illness. I was going to pickup a small QT to put her in to treat her with copper. When I got back to the house, she was gone for good. I am going to be better prepared next time for sure. I already have the copper treatment and will get a QT setup soon also. Thank you guys for your help.
