Finding these small white dots on my Hammers (Euphyllias). What are they, are they harmful, should I dip and try to get rid, are there any products that get rid of these things?

They look like spirorbid worms. They are harmless, though they can become a nuisance if their population gets out of control. They can be a hassle to scrape off of equipment, but they won’t harm your corals.

starvation. but everyone would starve. They are all over the back of my glass. Not a big deal.
Mine might be different. They are tiny red feather worms.
