Based on these photos do these discolored areas on the underside of my Acros look like there might be AEFW?

Thank you in advanced for any help.

While possible can also be from:
Lack of light and/or flow
Calcium low
Alk elevated
Low PH
Low nutrients (Phosphate and nitrate)
High temperature

Examine coral with magnifying glass. You will see them although tiny

Being that is their favorite flavor it’s possible but I don’t really see bite marks or dead spots with eggs… hit it with a turkey baster and see if any fly off..

I had them about 3 months ago. The flesh difference is very stark. It goes right to skeleton. So I would say no. You just have the typical lighter spots due to flow, lack of light, nutrients etc. I don’t see signs of AEFW in those pictures.

But obviously it is possible that these pics just aren’t good enough.
