Candy cane parasite?

[Wannabe Reefer]

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me if these little white marks are something to worry about?

I'm reluctant to move the coral as i fear it's dying and the lfs suggested leaving it alone.

Also, is the sand bed the best location for the frag?

Thanks

Spirorbid worms, harmless. As far as your frag goes, unfortunately it appears destined for loss.

Thanks for the reply.

I imagine it's the lighting. My tank came with a standard led which has white and blue.

I might ask lfs to take back to see if they can rescue

Or at least until you can get better lighting.
