sap well look more cottony or hairy looking. It can be spotted easily when the koi is in water. But when you pull the koi out the hairs lay down and more difficult to even see.

I've had a couple of koi with whatever this is. I tried various treatments and nothing changed. Eventually it just disappeared (after a couple of *years*). My best guess is that it was something viral but it never seemed to affect the fish that had it. I know this isn't terribly helpful re: ID of the pathogen but it seemed harmless in my situation.
