I have these growths on one of my baby mbus and he's just not happy or eating. Here some pics. They look like cloudy fuzzy lumps.

His tail looks like it is rotting. I would add 1 tsp of salt per 5 gallons and bump the temp to 88-90 F. Make sure to add an airstone also with the addition of the high temps.
I will add some salt but what would raising the temp that high do? His tail has been crinkled since I got him. as far salt the salt will that clear it if it is a fungus.

Either way that fungus is a secondary infection and should not occur in good water quality. Make sure they aren't fighting between each other either 
Sure about the higher temps, Kev? I always feel it speeds the development of the disease, bar some exceptions, such as hexa..
On another note, what is the PH you are keeping them in?
I have had success in treating multiple issues at once with my Mbu's. It should only take about a week to see results and then start dropping the temp.
