Oh dang!!! It’s hard for me to tell what that is.
From the video or picture.
Could be a type of aefw.
take that whole piece out and dip it! Inspect what comes off look for eggs.

The piece is gone so no worries.. but I know this creature will strike again. Seams to be every 4 to 5 days.
It was the size of a diabetic needle tip or less . Kcl seams to control population but not kill or easily help relate from coral. I will try to identify more when I use exodus dip this weekend. Trying to identify not eliminate . This is ongoing for months. Yes I had aefw eggs 8 weeks ago but broke it all down . Due to kcl dip

I’d love to find out what it is.
Sucks you’re going through this but a good thing if you figure it out.

I assume this has been my pests for over 6 months. I have completed 8 weeks kcl dip. Found aefw eggs. Removed all. Broke all pieces out of main and move to frag tank on racks. Completed another 8 weeks kcl. 4 days after kcl dip these will attack at least 1 frag. Dipping q 4 days keeps at bay but not killing.
