Pest on Frogspawn coral.

[Auto-pilot]

Hey I've had these frogspawn corals for a long time and have given away almost as much as I currently have just from crazy growth! Recently I've noticed they haven't been super happy and I'm pretty sure I have some sort of pest on them.

I lost one or two heads to random BJ and others dont look good. Just curious if someone has an ID on these critters and best solution for getting rid of them.
Thanks!

@KJ #reefsquad any thoughts?

Hard to tell.

Yeah you can see those white specks running around the coral in the video I posted

If you are concerned it may be pests and not just pods, then give it a pest dip. Or give it an iodine dip and see how it responds.

I was thinking of using bayer and dipping it. They are covering all of my frogspawn and I have never seen them before

I agree, a dip would be in order. The issue being, as soon as you place them back in your DT they will be back as I am sure they are in the entire tank as well.

Maybe I will quarantine my frogspawn as they are the only affected coral

I just found the same thing on a few of my euphyllias.

So update on this. I used Bayer and all the pests were gone. it seems like my coral has been doing way better after this. not sure what those bugs were but they were diffidently not pods. I dipped in Bayer a cleaned with R/O water for about 30 seconds. I did see a return of these white pests but just dipped again and they have been un-noticeable for about a month now
