Hi I got this torch coral around 2 weeks ago but then these two days I have noticed smaller things like eggs but with a head similar to the torch tenacles. I am wondering if this it just the torch growing new tenacles and new head or if this is something I need to take care of and treat. I have attached a video and an image of the coral please take a look and give me your best advices! IMG_6144.jpg IMG_6144.jpg

The flat worm you mention are just the skeleton. Are you sure they are barnacles they are everywhere on the coral yesterday i did a turkey base on it then it showed these small tencales. What do i do if they are barnacles?
 
I dont have direct flow on them but I should have around 550 litre per hour on my tank. I just don't know if the brown dots are just new tenacles forming at the base because yesterday i did blast them with a turkey baser as i thought there were algae and it broke some of the coral off.


Today it had mucus around the torch and I was worried that it will ruin all my other corals so I removed it.
