By translucent I assume you can see through these spots somewhat. Most likely flukes from your brief description. Flukes are one of the few things that Fresh Water dips are very effective for. Get some Fresh water in a bucket, warm it to tank water and add some buffer to get the pH close the tanks pH. Dip each fish for up to 15 minutes in the fresh water. Watch the fish closely and remove at any signs of excessive stress. This will likely need to be repeated several times over a week to eliminate the flukes from the tank.
