Aefw or something else?

Early tonight I was looking at my pink caddy and noticed something stringy attached to it. I tried to baste it off with no luck.

Can someone help me Id what is on this coral so I can determine a treatment?

Last picture is he coral a week earlier

Do you have any photos without the blues? I can't see anything personally, with AEFW you want to look for oval bite marks and small clusters of tan-brown eggs at the base or on any exposed skeleton.

There's some good photos here:

That does not look like AEFW to me. Usually, there are multiple bites - I mean a lot. Only way to know for sure is to dip it, which could help even if it is not AEFW.

Are the polyps extending? A picture without the blue actinics will definitely help as mentioned above.

Looks like something broke off one of the polyps/coralites. The coral does look stressed in the first 3 pics

Unfortunately my tank is on t5s so I can take any whiter pics. Its stressed in the first few pics because I tried to blow whatever it is off of it.

I would just keep an eye on it then.

Any fish that could have nipped it?

I only have 2 clowns 3 gangs and a few wrasse. No known nippers
