It is hard to see but so small i had to zoom in. Thanks for replying!

Agree, coloration and I do see bristles suggest it is a bristleworm or a piece of one.

A quick dip for softy and lps in revive helps. Potassium chloride for sps. U don’t have but keeps good majority of the nasty away

I know this will sound bad but I eye ball the frags. Dipping would definitely help!

This does do a huge help either taking the coral off the frag if I could or remounting it onto another frag
