Frogspawn Coral help asp

[THE REEF WHISPER]

Frog spawn Coral has some kind of white fur film on the skeleton. One of the polyps aren't opening fully I dipped it 2 weeks ago. I scrubbed it off. Came off the coral opened back up fully and then it came back. I don't know if it's some kind of sponge little worms

Here is the polyp extension?

Please need help idk what this is

Its hard to see in the photos. It looks like it could be mesenterial filaments which is a part of the coral & usually appear when its stressed out. All the corals in your photos look stressed too. Is this at night, what light & intensity do you have, what type of flow do the corals get.

Edit: are looking at it again I am like 99% that is mesenterial filaments and scrubbing it off would really stress the coral as they can appear when feeding especially at night but they also can be a sign that something in the water is stressing it out.

What are parameters, flow, par, etc.

Yeah usually thought its a sign of stress.

It can be that it is attacking another coral, trying to feed, but with all the corals closed up, unless it looks happy during the day & these photos are at night then something is stressing it out. (parameters, flow, light, salinity)

Some look like small strands exactly like how you had it. You also probably hurt the coral when you scrubbed them off as those are literally its guts. The best medicine in this case is probably to leave it alone. If all the corals look unhappy, first thing to do is to verify your salinity & calibrate any refractometer if you have one. Next check parameters. Finally look at flow & lighting.

It's not that it's like a fur film

+1 for parameters. I see the other euphyllia in there are may be pulled in slightly too. It could be stress as I see it next to a hammer but usually frogs play nice with hammers.

As far as addressing, I would do an iodine dip on at minimum the frog.
