Small worms on a goni

[DigitalFishAquariums]

pH 8.3
Salenity 1.025
Dkh 11
Calcium 485
Ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, nitrite too low to detect.

Kessil 360s over an 80 gallon "frag" style tank setsup like a display et with a refugium with assorted plants and pods. Some fish, nothing unusual, mixed reef tank, nothing new added lately, flow provided by an icecap 3k gyre on wave, all the way down to 10%

My goniopora were doing ok for a few months but one day shrivled up and seemed to be bleaching, it looks like tiny (too small to photograph) clear worms seems to be lodged "popped up" into the water near the worst spots and a white almost calcification edge appeared around the Coral. I tried dipping and haven't seen the worms for a few days so we but my poor goni is very unhappy. The rest of the nixed reef appears fine however, some SPC and softies a few zoanthid and a ricordia all alive and well.

I'll take ideas thanks all

Welcome to the forum!! Goniopora can be tricky to keep happy especially the green ones, if it’s a pest problem dipping is about all you can do. They like their water a little dirty so no nitrates or phosphates is potentially making him mad also.
