So I have had a solar flare Acro frag for a couple weeks now. It was doing fine for the first week but now it’s beginning to have much less polyp extension and color loss. I tested all levels and they seemed alright but Today I noticed a small white bug crawling on my Acro. It had a weird trunk kinda like a nassarius snail. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to kill it? No signs of necrosis yet

Need a Close up picture to be able to help. If you can take it out put it into a cup and take a close up under the daylight that would be ideal.

And post your parameters. “Seemed alright” doesn’t give us much to go on
