Hello! I have a giant toadstool in my 90g. I have had it a little over a year and it went from an inch wide to now bigger than my open hand.

Recently (last two-three months) it has developed a green line around it's trunk. I have noticed these tiny little bugs on it when the lights are off and cannot identify what they are and if this is what's causing my issue and if so what to do about it. The coral is still doing great opening everyday and shown no signs of stress besides this line.

These pictures were taken in the same day. I know the obvious answer is to try and dip the coral the issue with that is how large it is and obviously I can't just rip it off the rock. I'm worried about doing this when right now the only negative I've seen is this green line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The rest of my coral seem to be doing just fine and no random green lines.

It is likely irritated and I do see presence of bugs on its stem.
Try to siphon out those bugs or look at dipping it in an iodine/ro mix
