Brown Spots

[JAMSOURY]

Can you guys tell me what these are on my Space Invader? They’re brown dots all over

Could be red planaria flatworms. Considered to be a pest, but manageable. There are predators who also happen to be awesome fish (e.g. coris wrasses). There's a chemical treatment for them as well: Flatworm exit, but its a very involved process to execute correctly (in my experience at least). Some reefers are chemical averse though! Lots of articles and experience out there you can find w/ a googlin' if that's what they are.

Mine aren’t really reddish, are there different kinds? Thanks for the help!

Can you take it out and dip it in coral dip and see if they fall off?

They look like flatworms to me as well. Red planaria will have a reddish brown appearance to them.

Red/Brown is a fine line depending on what light is hitting it . I would consider them a muted red. Can definitely look brown though!

Try to touch them, do they move when you do?
