I fed him feeders yesterday and then all of the sudden this morning he has many white splotches on his side... If he did catch something from a bad feeder i wouldn't be noticing it this soon would I??? How could I treat this? Water change? Salt? Temperature?

Growing fungus.. Separate to a qt tank and add melafix/primafix in there.. Follow the bottle instructions. Although you can do something with salt.. I'm not pretty sure about that..
Next time qt your feeders before feeding them unless they come from a very trusty and reliable source.. ;)

So, basically, it is a pretty simple fix and if i get on it right away he should be fine???

Yeah considering it's tiny amounts.. Should take a few days

Primafix is for the fungus and melafix is to reform the damaged scales... I think. I mix them together and use in the tank...
