Looks like some type of fungus to me. Do you have a hospital tank set-up?

That is usually from an injury or the fish being stressed out. I saw in another post you had some blue damsels and a yellow tang. These are probably picking on it and cuased it to get stressed which then caused the fungus to start growing.
How often are you doing water changes and what percentage to total tank volume are you doing?

My clown fish have that but it is from the fish picking at the rocks. They clean the rock around their host. I'd watch for this.
Well... maybe not took a second look at your pic and seems the little guy is trying to grow a mustache.
