Hi there, my Duncan has been big and happy the past two weeks. This weekend I added a few new LPS coral and today my Duncan has been shriveled and moody. Upon closer inspection I noticed these little white/tan/translucent things on its flesh. They are tiny so it’s hard to distinguish their shape but they seem strongly, almost like balled up worms. Has anyone encountered these before? Should I be worried? Maybe do another dip?

Try searching for flatworms on LPS on google and see if the pics look similar
