[Strange sprouting]

Hi, I am hoping for some advice. I have a male kribensis who is about 6 years old that is sprouting strange white filaments his head.

See image at link: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee60 ... /Fish2.jpg

The tank is 60L and has been established for nearly 3 years. It is fitted with a canister type filter and healthy live plants. There is the krib, 2 gold bushy-nosed plecos, about 10 neon tetras and a rougue snail or two. I generally feed flake, brine shrimp or bloodworms once daily but am very, very careful not to overfeed. I test the water bi-weekly and there have been no problems at all. I vacuum and do 25% water changes once a month.

The krib seems fine otherwise but I am concerned at how this sudden issue has come up. Is it a fungus? Or...? Any ideas for treatments?

Thanks, Jen
