I’ve been seeing more and more of these pop up on my acros and Montis. PE is good on both still so I’m not too concerned but I would like to know what it is. Lots of my acros have them on the base. I’m leaning toward spirobid worms but I don’t see them anywhere else

Are there antennae coming out of holes? 2 antennae are tell tale sign of coral boring spinoids.
 
Oh yeah there is but they’ve been there for a long time and the corals all seem happy still it’s just recently I started looking all white there. Thought maybe it was a new pest
