I just got home from a trip and noticed some small black dots on a little frag I have. Does anyone recognize these? My first thought is a flatworm or something but I can hardly see them.

I took it out and dipped it as soon as I saw it, but I'm considering if I should dip the rest of my frags. I always do it once upon arrival but some must have survived the first round. I didn't notice any visible dots on my other corals. I'll have to keep a closer eye on them over the next while.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Cut off some of the live coral base and completely remove and discard the base. Quarantine and check it again, as it looks like you may have Acro eating flatworms
