Does this sound close to what you are describing?

[red]Marine Velvet:
A parasitic disease which symptoms are similar to that of marine Ick. *Caused by the parasite Amyloodinium Ocellateum. *The infected have sandpaper-like skin, with small gold/brown spots covering the body. * Fish are often found scratching their bodies against various objects trying to remove the parasites. *Treat with a parasitic medication, and/or perform a freshwater dip for 3 to 10 minutes.[/red]

A picture would be a huge benefit!
