Looks beat up. I'd isolate it and add salt and melafix...

Do they look like grains of salt? If so, it is ich. Heat and salt for treatment.

Could you post a better pic or maybe post an HD vid on utube an post the link here. It doesn't look quite like ich, but I can't be sure. Wouldn't hurt to raise the temp a little, add some salt and melafix until your sure.

I have read that the heat and salt treatment works for most people, but I just recently had a run in with ich and heat + salt didn't work. I picked up some Ich-cure, and it was gone in 4 or 5 days.
