ID Request - Acanthophyllia hitchhiker

[chrissreef]

Looking for
1. ID on this
2. Ideas how to remove?
3. How big of a problem do I have? (I have 14 acantho's but have only seen these around the one... so far - others don't seem irritated)


Have found 5 in my tank over the last few months. First 2 were out of an Acanthophyllia that seems irritated on one side. Third on a Blasto – when I tried to grab him he dove into a blasto (blasto hasn’t shown irritation in last 3 months). Last 2 at a neighboring Acantho that seemed irritated like they were trying to go inside him. I removed them and he’s expanded on that side now.
If these are breeding INSIDE the tissue, is there a dip that will work?
I thought about a wrasse but A. not sure if it will work B. I have some Berghia Nudibranch


Thanks for your help!!

See the two different body sections of the worm pictured? Looks like an epitoke. Look through this site to identify it.
