Noticed 3 small white dots that have appeared on one of my polyps. Probably showed up a couple of days ago. Also noticed another dot appear on a neighboring polyp, so it is spreading in some way.

It might be pox, but they don't appear like pimples. In fact they don't cast a shadow at all and seem to be borderline flat or just a pigmentation. Only in the last pic does it seem like there might be some slight shape to one of them. Also, the polyps still open up every day on schedule. The dots are scarcely visible during the day because the zoa's tendrils obscure them. Only at night are they obvious.
