Fungal infection?

Just discovered several shrimp in my heavily planted 40 have a white feathery tuft on their rostrum. Same place on all. Haven't been able to get a good photo. The tank is about 3 months old. Heavily filtered. 20% water changes twice a week. Pressurized CO2. Know that fungus outbreaks are typically a water quality issue, but this tanks appears OK. Have been fighting a bit of filamentous algae as I try to get CO2 light and plants balanced. Did a 50% change yesterday anyway. Will do another Saturday. Have some Kordon Rid-Fungus on order. Any ideas or suggestions regarding cause, treatment, etc.?
