White "dots" on brain coral?

germs101 · May 8, 2017

There are a lot of what appears to be white dots on my brain coral. They don't move. It's almost as if it is part of the mucus that the coral secrets. Any idea what this could be?

Could be sand partials that the coral is flushing of itself

It was shipped to me on Thursday and is in a bare bottom tank now. I supposed it's possible though. I hope that's all it is

They look like Mesenterial Filaments IMO.

I agree with cloak . give it some time since it was just shipped.
