Also to me it looks like those black worms are burrowing into the corals structure. Are they just on the surface? Depth is super hard to tel in pics

Hard to tell for sure based on the pics but these look like holes bored into your coral skeleton. There shouldn’t be so much damage to the base of the skeleton like this either. Mines slowly become one complete piece with my rock it’s on.
dang so they really are worms. Weird thing is that they never move or jump around. I dont have a dip on me, never used one tbh mainly because of their price but looks like i might need one. Im worried that if I dip the coral and add more stress, i might lose it.

I mean it’s 50-50. Totally up to you. I’m of the opinion that if it starts going downhill anyway a dip may save it. It’s totally up to you. Maybe someone else will chime in. Mine looked completely D-E-D, dead. But they came back and are thriving
