Default advise with friends Xback.

My friends xback seem to have developed whitish spots on his whole body.
what could this be ? any advise?

white spots on pectoral fins


cheeks



tail part





he does 30% water change weekly.
fish is in 150 gallon with sump filter, and tankmates are lots of geos.

what do you guys think>?
