I have one acro the vinh that started dying. Multiple branches now dead. I noticed today tiny longish critters on it. I'm thinking it's a pod and I notice them because the white branch it's easy to spot movement. I cut a dead branch and put under microscope.

Any help would be fine

Definitely some type of amphipod. Unusual for it to be the cause of your coral's demise.

Not saying it's the cause. I just noticed it on a coral that has been going downhill and now that the coral is white. It's easy to see them. Was just wondering what it was. If indeed it was bad or just a pod
