Coral Hitchhikers Removal

[KABrown]

I believe my coral has some kind of Hitchhikers on it, it's my first coral and only one at the moment. I'm wondering the best way to remove them since I super glued it to a large rock and the coral isn't attached to a plug. Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Did you dip the coral? Where is the hitchhiker in the pic?

Local coral store told me he dipped it before I came in, Im not positive it has any. All parameters are good just not sure why some are closing up. There are some white lines on the ones closed up, I'll post more pics. Thanks

Could you maybe take a pic with less blues . I can’t see any white lines sorry

We're those ones ever opened? My Jason fox cloves always have some at the bottom that look like they don't have a head.
If you don't see any pests then you can't do much other then dip it

They were opened for a while, do they normally just open close randomly? I'd like to dip it just Incase but it's glued to large rock. Sorry I'm new to coral and learning

Hitchhikers aren't necessarily bad, maybe just let it sit and adjust. My corals took forever to get comfortable. For example, the pulsing xenia was essentially dead for months until it exploded with growth. Softies can be a bit touch and go.

Thanks for the info, I'll just relax and see what happens
