What’s on my coral?

Does anyone know what these white spots are on my bubble tip? I just noticed them all at once. Thought maybe they were sand flecks but they are definitely stuck on there and flat following the anemone surface

It's something normal, in fact sellers will raise the price for bubble tips with this.

Also, do you know this is an anemone?

Usually, these specs show up because of higher lighting. If you don't like them, you can try to lower the light it receives, but I think it looks cool and there's no guarantee they will go away.

If you want, look up "acid rain bubble tip anemone", and see what they look like.

I just wasn't sure if you knew because you asked what was on your coral.

Also, I just wanted to say that you have a gorgeous BTA!

Oh yes I guess the title should have been worded differently. it does look like the spots on an acid tip anemone. When I first got it there wasn’t any spots. But also I need new lighting so that very well could be it too. Thanks for the help
