Last night I was watching and saw little clearing specs on my garf Bonsai. Been in the tank for over a year, encrusted from a little bitty frag quite well. Still have PE but not as great as it should be, and I csnt seem to see them crawling on any other corals in my tank of 20+ acros.

They appear like pinhead and clear. Just kind of run around aimlessly, no red and def not a flatworm. I do have a Melanarus Wrasse, maybe time for a mandarin I've always wanted or is this a pest?

That GARF bonsai is beautiful. My vote is that these are pests. Probably no bueno. Do a Google for acropora black bugs and see if this is what you are looking at.
 
Hey @PghReef, May I ask what did you end up doing with the bug on the bonsai? I have the same bug on my GARF bonsai.
I dosed interceptor ordered from Canada. It did clear up the bugs butbunfortusntlt I still lost it
