Acropora worm?

[Vitor]

Hello,
As the image shows. Two little “horns”, they move in an in and out motion, from inside the acro. What do you think?
I will try to also upload the video but usually I can’t.
Thanks!

Does it look like it has two antenna? Coral boring spionid possibly?

They can be. Search for them on here to verify it’s what you have, or maybe someone else that can see can chime in. If it’s only one on a frag I’d kill it by force then epoxy over it for good measure, or snip off the frag above and toss out the rest. Again, I’m just guessing as to what it is. Verify before you take my word on it!

They are not ideal. After you feed you can usually see the antenna sticking out. You can try to cut away but they go deep.

I will try glue on it

Glue won't usually work. They move, before it spreads ide recommend cutting a big chunk of that coral away

They may survive just glue. Physical destruction or removal is better.

I'll see if I can have a go at it, but if they burrow deep it will be quite tricky as it isn't too far from a base area

You maybe cut the base off and regular the other branches.

Seems So far that I was able to cut back enough to where I don’t really see traces of it. Let’s hope it stays like that! Thanks for the help
