Received this torch from a local a while ago. Dipped with coral RX, quarantined for a few weeks, dipped again and moved into tank. I’m just now spotting these tiny black dots on the skeleton. Any idea what this is?

Bumping.
I was able to scrape many off. Some of these spots were on a Hammer coral as well. I do not have any SPS.

OP did you ever get an ID? Is the torch doing ok?
