A struggling torch and weird scoly bump

[Kmsutows]

I have a torch that doesn't extend anymore. It's a few inches from another that's doing great. Any ideas you get from the picture ?

Next question is why does my fairly new (few weeks) scoly have this weird bump?

How old is the tank
What are your water parameters
What lights are you using

It's had water in it since May. Honestly as far as measuring the parameters I just have a cheap multi parameter strip test kit. All my other corals have done quite well so far. Lights are reef breeder leds

Those look kind of like flatworms of some sort on the skeleton of the Torch coral. I wonder if these might be responsible for the corals behavior.
I'm not really sure about the bump on the Scolymia, but overall it does look good. If it doesn't go away within 24 hours or so then you might have to start looking for some answers. GL.

Thanks for the replies. Here's another picture

Holy cow I see the flat worms!! I didn't give it much thought I thought it was just flesh!!

There are what look like eggs all over the top of the coral!!! Ahhhh what do I do?? I'm in the process of pulling the worms off

I pulled off all the worms I could see and scrapped off all the eggs I could see then shook the coral in more water and returned it to the tank. I was real hesitant to return it with the chance there were eggs left

You can do a dip with some Bayer or iodine or a flatworm exit style dip. #reefsquad can someone help out with a coral dip

They might be nudi's.

I would use any coral dip quickly available to you to start with. Once every couple days... a good check of all LPS corals in the tank would be prudent as well.

Eww creepy! Youll be fine, just keep an eye on the affected corals. Going to have to dip some of your euphyllia and mushrooms often because the worms seem to prefer both over others. Your scoly looks like it ate something lol, keep an eye on that also.
