These are the dreaded mealybugs. Isolate this plant from the others. Get a good quality organic natural Neem Oil Spray (I like it because it's effective and it's not chemicals). Test on one leaf, if no allergy spray both sides of the leaves and every part of the plant with this oil. Repeat 3 times every 7 days. Then keep spraying every 14 days as prevention.
You need to do the spraying in the evenings, to prevent the Sun burn. The plants can be exposed to the sun the next morning.

100% mealybugs
Best way to get rid of them fast is by using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and kill each one individually. Like @BeeBalm says.
These are really hardy pests, so they can be a problem to get rid off.
Do keep in mind you need to keep treating this plant now for weeks, also keep it separate from your other plants!!! My suggestion is to also use a insecticide spray that is specifically made for mealybugs on the side once a week.

Wipe with alcohol pads separate from all plants then spray with diluted neem oil
