Not monti eating flatworms. Help :/

[Tclason1]

Alright all! Got one that has me stumped…I’m thinking baby vermitids. Little white spots taking over a monti growing on the back wall. They are growing into the coral. Do not blow off with flow or baster and too small to get with tweezers. When I feed coral they come out and looks like they’re eating with little webs. I had a couple vermitids years ago but killed off with bumblebee snails. These are so much smaller and growing on top of monti. I should add they have been there for about 2 months (that I’ve noticed) and monti is still growing and happy healthy soooo Idk?!?!?

Took pics to my LFS and was told it was a type of jellyfish - hydroid. That’s new to me. Thoughts?

Covering the monti? That is really weird. Were you able to remove them?

 

[Tclason1]

Can’t remove them without digging it out of the monti :-/

I guess we're all stumped by this.

Since this is a montipora issue. Try the sps forum. They may have some answers there.

I am really sorry I am of no help in this situation. I have never dealt with this and couldn't find any information on it.
