If you're really sure that it's columnaris, then lower the temperature to 72F to slow the bacteria. You can treat with maracyn & maracyn2 together or something like kanamycin. This of course assumes excellent water quality and that you have properly diagnosed the infection.

I'm sorry, but I can't really tell much from the pictures. I believe that Columnaris will pile up as it spreads and will often look like some kind of fungus since it's kind of thick. I have not personally had it, so.... You should still post your water paramaters and try to get some more pictures if you can.
