I was doing a water change when I noticed my Male midas had some small white looking stuff on his fins he is acting normal but I have never seen anything like this before. No other fish in the tank have it. Let me know what you guys think?

Whitespot. It's on your festae as well. Crank up the heat to 28-30 degrees celcius, add salt (1 tablespoon per gallon). Do water changes frequently, remembering to replace the salt each time.
Its not ich and what you see on the festae are her spangles not ich. The spots are a lot bigger than ich
Lymphocyctus is a ubiquitous virus, kind of like the common cold and is usually self limiting.
Keep up frequent, regular water changes and clean filters of gunk, hold stress to a minimum, and it goes away.
If you don't, much like a cold leading to pneumonia, it can kill.

There is no change in behavior when fish exhibit signs of lymphocystis. It also mentions this in the article that was linked.
I've seen this occasionally on large cichlids but it tends to go away if your water change and maintenance routines are good and the fish are otherwise healthy and stress-free.
