Got a poccilipora colony the other day. Did an initial dip in 100% perxoide to clear algae then 15 minutes in CoralRX which blew off some debris. 2 days later on observation I noticed a lot of very tiny (pinhead sized) spots. I pulled the coral and did a 15 minute lugols dip and a ton of these blew off. Can't quite tell what they are, not seeing any pics of common pests that match up. Guidance would be appreciated!

No seems soft, they are all suspended in tiny droplets of water in the pictures. Got a microscope arriving tomorrow, guess that makes me a full fledged reefer now lol
