So I have a coral beauty that has recently grown this white spot on its eye. I couldn’t get any pics to show well so I took a video.

Also, I recently put a fire shrimp in and the angel is OBSESSED with it! It is constant swimming into the shrimp begging for some attention. Is this stressful to the shrimp? He seems calm enough with the situation but it is funny.

Hard to tell from the video what it is. Does it look like a bubble on the eye?

This fish is now 2 years older than when this pic was taken and still has the bubble. You can try Epsom salts if it seems to bother him but it didn't work for my PJ

Not quite, it’s got a broccoli like texture to it

That’s actually exactly what I was thinking as well, anything you recommend to treat him? Aminos or vitamins?

Soaking fish food in Selcon, Zoecon or Vita-chem should help expedite the "going away" process.

Agree with this and the diagnosis, especially after your description.
