Hi Guri
It's probably Lymphocystis. You can read some more about it here and here
Can you put some photographs as it would help us to help you...
If in fact it is Lymphocystis or Cauliflower disease, it often results from bad environment, stress, transport...and in many cases it disappears once the fish recovers, the water parameters become good, so best thing to do is to let it be as Reefman wrote and thus not induce more stress to the fish.
That’s what happened yesterday. My cleaner shrimp was cleaning Ahthinas and the fish didn’t more for about five minutes I was watching shrimp removed that thing and ate it and the fish was swimming like crazy I think because of pain. Fish had a big hole on her skin I couldn’t catch her, wanted to put her in separate tank with antibiotics but it wasn’t possible he was hiding. So today the hole became much smaller and she is active, eats well like usual. Hope my shrimp will be ok.
