Looks like fungus to me.
Fungus is normally caused by infected bites or bad water params. It looks too spread out to be a bite so I'd check your water.
I'd use pimafix but if that doesnt work I'd go for something stronger like mardel fungus cure (I believe thats what it's called)
 
Is that a bunch of uneaten food in there ? (Photo 10.)

If the water params were fine, this wouldn't happen - unless if he had some injuries that later got infected - which does not happen overnight. In fact - are you sure you didn't notice anything wrong before ?

Do you clean the gravel when you do your WC's ?
 
What's your water parameters Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates & Ph. Please provide numbers.

^ wate what med are you buying? Do you have the ability to test your water parameters?
