This is on my Hoya. It looks hard vs fuzzy but wondering if it mealy bugs or anything else to worry about?

Thanks. I’m erring on the side of caution and wiped it off with some rubbing alcohol. 🤞🏻 I got it all & in time.

I’m new to owning plants - when they say to check close plants or keep them apart…how far is that? lol I’ve got a slated stand and this one was on a ledge by itself and the next on would be about 12 inches up and another 12 over. Is that close enough for them to have spread?
