I turned the lights off. And started feeding my corals. 5 minutes later I come back to see what's got their tentacles out. Right away I notice this little worm this crawling in and out and all around a hole in my chalice skeleton. It reminds me of an inch worm. I got a video dint know how to post. If you look it's about 1 mm in size and clear/white. Please help. I'm worried. Haven't had any problems pest wise. :/ :(

Post the vid YouTube then share the link.
 
did you try and dip the coral?
No because I never had problems yet. It was bound to happen if it is a problem. I was planning on buying some this weekend. Didn't know what/ where to buy
 
Can't tell what it is in that pic, but a dip might get rid of it. Don't wait for problems to dip, dip everything coming in.
CoralRx is a popular one and available at many saltwater fish shops and online.

Can you see it in the video?

I see what you're describing but only just, don't know what it is.
Most critters we spot accidentally are harmless/beneficial.

That's all I can see too. I noticed it when I turned lights off and started feeding and then turned them on again. I think there's S chance it eats the coral since its living in there. But why would it come out then. Should I try to get rid if it?
 
Is there a temporary Alternative until I can get a dip? I also have what appears to be a feather duster on the same coral. Would there be away to keep this little guys still?
