Nice looking discus. I would suspect an internal parasitic infestation perhaps. I've used API's General Cure with good results.

Hex is pretty common with Discus as well as Angels.

what is the tank temp.. hex responds well to general cure but you would need to treat the tank.
so it may need a lot.

it also has problems reproducing in high temps..88-90 which is well within the discus high temp range.

Pilly how are your fish going. I use Kusuri all wormer plus and dose my tank once a month, the good thing about this product is you can't overdose
