Possible hydroid problem?

[oKrazyii]

So I have a little problem currently with one of my acan frags, normally it is fully open and happy but the last month or so it’s been almost fully closed and seems very mad, I’ve noticed what I can also assume are hydroids (long clear/white stalky things) all over the skeleton of the frag. I have tried adding more flow to the are, blowing them off with a baster which didn’t work, and I’ve also tried brushing them off with a toothbrush. At this point I have no idea what else to try, does anyone have any advice? I’m not instantly worried about removing the hydroids as a whole since I hear they normally disappear on their own but I would at the very least like to get them off of the acan coral

Salinity 1.025
Phos .5
Cal 420-440
Nitrate 20ppm
Dkh 9
Nitrite 0
Ph 8.3
I know phosphate is high in working on lowering it

Yep looks like hydroids to me. Take the frag out and dip it in a iodine based solution like Lugol's or TM Coral Clean. That should pretty much rid it of anything pestering it and promote it to heal itself.

Will seachem reef dip work? Or no?

I just tried dabbing some hydrogen peroxide on the skeleton where the hydroids are and submerging the frag plug in it also, hopefully tomorrow I’ll see some die off
