small neon green dots in tank - not algae

[Dr4gula.f32]

Last night I noticed on my rockwork, what looked like the tip of one of my torches. a small neon green ball. Lets say 1mm in diameter, possibly smaller. The only reason notice them is because they are glowing NEON green. Not slightly green, NEON green. It is not algae. All 4, are balls, and appear to move in the current. Today that ball is not in the same place, but I notice 4 total now.

Are these baby corals?

Could you post a picture? Without that very hard to say. Could be anything.

If it's moving around it's not a torch potentially some sort of nem

If I take a pic with blue lights, people will complain to use white light. But they are almost invisible in white light. Also, they are so small a pic really won't do squat.

It's moving in the current. Not on its own. It's a half mm ball. Not a nem.

It appears when torches bailout, the whole tentacle ejects from the skeleton. If this is a torch, it is just the tip of the tentacle. It is the size of a grain of sand.

It's the size of a grain of sand. The mushroom on the plug in the center, just below it is a single neon green spec

I'm not kidding when I say difficult to see without the blue light.

4 oclock position from the hammer on a plug

One above the big mushroom on the rock, and one between the big one, and the next biggest one.

Never saw neon green ball algae before

After a careful inspection, I believe these to be the tips of my Hulk Torch. I have an 11 head hulk I paid $150, yes, less than 200 smackers for. It has very thin, short tentacles, and super small tips. This is the only thing in my tank with such a vibrant green, and super small size. 2 days ago I moved a small power head over to the torch side of the tank so get a little more motion out of them. I believe that is the cause. I have moved the powerhead a little bit further away for now.

Then just do the blue picture to help us out. Better than nothing

Do you have anything in tank that can be picking at torch? My regal angelfish would peck at them and rip off tips. Peppermint can also do it. Sorry to say I have no more torches

I do have 2 cleaner shrimp but I have never once seen them on that side of the tank. I do have some halloween hermit crabs. I saw one on the near the base of the skeleton earlier. I yeeted him accordingly.

Fish wise...2x clowns, 1 blue spot watchman goby, 3x blue green chromis, 1x bi color blenny, 1x purple firefish, 1x 6 line wrasse. There's also a tiger pistol in there but I've never seen him up where the torches are.

I don’t see anything of concern here. But you never know. In end if I would just watch closely as it sounds like torch tips but something is not right if it is
