What is this on the coral so I can fix it :( ?

[M3rmaids]

I quarantined 6 new frags for 7 days. 3 weeks later… two out of the six have this, threaded hairy but vertical red lines/tubes? (Coralline?)
I dipped both coral frags in Coral RX 48 hours ago. It definitely has lessened by about 20% but obviously I need something specific. Can anyone help with a solution/dip? Everything else is thriving.

Please see pictures!

Pics under whites would help.
It's probably algae, which regular coral dips do not treat.

Depending on the type of coral, you can try an H2O2 dip, but some corals will not do well with this do do your research first.

Can't see a thing.
Need white lights.
Before actually posting the thread, go back and look at your pictures. Ask yourself, if I'm looking at this picture for the first time, can I see what I want somebody else to see?

IME, pointing a good bright flashlight at the thing you're trying to take a picture of usually works just fine and you don't have to mess with your tank lights.

Bad case of hair algae and some vermetid snails.
I would pull out the coral and tweeze off as much as you can and then use a qtip to apply h2o2 to the frag plug... Or remove the coral from the plug, clean off any algae growing on the skeleton and then mount to a new plug or to your rocks.

Wow thats pretty nasty looking! Id pop it off the frag and clean it up like @Erin1971Texas said. Give it a fresh start.

I don't think that is hair algae.
I do agree to take it off the plugs.
Tiny flat bladed screwdriver and get under it and twist gently. Should pop off. Use tweezers and a magnifying glass to make sure you get all that stuff off. If needed, h2o2 on a soft toothbrush and brush gently. Mount on another plug or on a rock.

Yeah, agreed... I took a closer look after I made that post, but figured my recommendation applied regardless of the type of algae.
