Are these AEFW marks?

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with identifying the issue with my acro frags.
Initially when introduced to the tank they were stable and encrusting, polyps out, all good. Then it started to lose colour and these weird marks appeared. I cant see any worms or eggs but the white marks are obvious. I would appreciate your opinion.

It look like AEFW, at least the white spots on the Acro. But can't be sure, better take it out, and dip it, look what will come out of it. And if isn't, leave it in quarantine tank and observe

Thank you for your reply.
I have some Aqua Forest AF Dip on hand, would that be helpful at all for AEFW?
I don't really have access to various dips available worldwide as I am from East Europe-Serbia ( like coralRX, Bayer etc)

Soo, I dipped in AF dip, it says it helps with AEFW in the instruction. Definetly found one huge worm. Also found tiny eggs that i scraped off.

AEFW on your finger? Looks like it

Well done @Twinanoreef it look like you done good job. Have on mind not always all the eggs will fall off, you have to check/dip it in the next 14-16 days for best results (if I'm not wrong about the incubation period/time) Check that and observe the coral during the next days to 2 weeks daily.

Thank you, @SHNICI
I found 2 tiny brown egg clutches at the base of the coral, and scraped it off with a needle. I will repeat the dip and blowing off with the turkey baster in the dip in the following weeks. I hope the coral will handle it, it looks fine now aside from the bite marks all over the skin.

Like I know they will recover, the bitten spots I mean. The main is not to get them over another acro (if you have).
I just found montipora eating nudibranch on one of my newer frags, which I dip before placing them in the DT in: coral dip by NT Lab, Revive and Sachem dip - iodine . probably 3 weeks ago when I introduce them. I observ them under macroscope and now this one was just crawling over the frag ..... (I'll redip all 3 frags I have again today)
