Help diagnose my reef chromas

Can someone help diagnose my green reef chromas? I have seven in quartatine for three weeks waiting to be placed in new reef setup as first fish. They are all doing well in QT and seem in very good health except one has some white blisters above eye that have been there almost from start. Just below the few blisters and above the eye it looks a little red like he lost some scales. The eye looks fine. He is acting like nothing is wrong and eating and swimming with the school. Although he seems to get picked on a little by some of the others. I am pretty sure it is not ich. These are larger than ich spots, stick out a little. They also have not spread to other areas in three weeks and no other fish has them. The only thing I can think of is some sort of parasite. I tried to take a photo but it is near impossible to get clear photo of the fish as with the flash my camera is to slow. I guess I need a new camera.

Thanks

My new gramma had something like you are describing. After a closer look a few looked like they might be a parasite and a quick freshwater dip later and he was cured. I could see 3-4 parasites in the tank but there were more like 30 or so in the dip water.

Weird.

barjam, did you use 100% fresh water or 20/80 salt/fresh and how long?

Thanks
