This Acanthophyllia the newest piece in my tank. I noticed about a week ago it wasn't opening fully after seeming happy for 6 weeks in my tank. Shortly after discovered these white worm burrowing into the skeleton. Dipping other Acanthophyllia in my tank yields no white worms (have had the others for 6+ months very healthy imo.) I don't have a quarantine for corals, but do dip in coral RX, Bayer, and Iodide. I've dipped the problem specimen daily for the past 5 days and still find these worms daily, but only on this coral. They create a sand tunnel around the skeleton that houses them as well as burrowing into the skeleton. I'll attempt to have my wife video when I dip tomorrow to show the sand tunnel structure and also the holes with worms exiting after the dip. Any help greatly apppreciated! My Acanthophyllia are my favorite corals would hate to watch them decline.
