At 1st glance it looks alike coroline but trust me it's not. Super small 1-2 millimeter. Hard shell but seems like a snail inside. it's super flat. They move really slow. I can break it with my nail. I dont think it's a flatwarm.

Sure looks like bubble algae to me (along with some vermetid snails nearby). Are you sure it's moving?

Bubble algae. You can try to pull individually and discard but do not pinch or break them as spores will be released multiplying them.
Fox face rabbit or female emerald crab will eat them.
My best success to get rid of them was use of Vibrant liquid

I have hydra 52 HDs, it's not coroline 100% I started noticing them few months ago. It doesnt get bigger they just spread all over. Their not eating coral flesh but their starting to stress corals. Its almost like a mix of flatwarm and snail. They move really slow. I've seen snails that small but their not this flat. It's almost as flat as a coroline.

I was talking about what's on the bubble. I just posted that pic because it's easy to see on the bubble. There is another pic with zoas

Its neither. sporbid worms have an opening at the end. These are just round and flat and they dont get bigger just multiply. Kind of frustrating... cant find anything that looks alike it.

Im viewing on my phone. Will look on computer when I get home in morning

 

[hyprc]

now I'm doubting my coraline theory... I don't usually see it growing on otherwise healthy zoas

zoa pox? Are they bothering any other corals other than zoas?

Now that I see it on a larger screen, looks like dead coraline.
