Can you get a better picture ?I'm not able to scrape it off as its growing into/from the coral skeleton. It's very hard and won't even chip off.....
Most likely foraminifera. They are safe if so.
Yep looks just like this...I'm guessing the vermatid snail is the little white guy? Hopefully I didnt just cause an infestation. I'll have to pull it out tomorrow and superglue it....
@Hemmdog was spot on. They’re harmless from what I’ve read. Can you see the vermatid snail on there though? In the middle, little tube sticking out? They bother corals and you can smash the guy at the base or super glue. I recommend gluing because that guy looks well-encrusted.Yep....they look exactly like that.....
Hard to see in the pic. You can crush their shells at the base. They usually crush quite easily but it’s a pain.Well, now what I know what a vermatid snail is.....I also can now identify that these are all vermatid snails. I was wondering why all of the sudden more started appearing on the base of my favorite frogspawn. Kicking myself about not researching a little more to learn about these sooner. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get rid of such a large quantity? Still superglue....because that's a lot of super glue...
Thanks

Those almost look like spirorbids, those are harmless filter feeders. Look at spirorbids at the link below to confirm.Sorry, here's a closer pic, but bad quality because I'm at work, and tank is at home. Does crushing their shells actually kill them, or just make them go somewhere else? Should I dip the coral after crushing them?
Thanks
