They’re eating the star polys.

Are these flatworms? I’ll get better pictures when I take it out in a little while.

I cannot tell, sorry. Maybe someone with keener eyes?

Hard to tell from pic, but looks too raised to be flatworm. More pics would help.

Hard to tell...at first I thought you were pointing to the vermetid snail but now I think I can see some flatworms.

 

[Uzidaisies]

Vermetids. Dang.

Didn’t find any flatworms though.

Stuff like this makes me realize my vision is garbage lol

In this image, you may be able to see that the lighter pink area within the circle has died back in the last few days. It was once completely bridged over by the coral’s stolons. The chartreuse arrow will direct the eye to the Vermetid snail. If you look very closely, the orange arrow points to what I believe are remnants of the snails mucus web.

This does not upload at the original resolution does it?

The larger spot in the first 2 pictures has the outline of a Cirolanid isopod.

It seems it was the tube end of the same worm or a second one. I’m not exactly sure what was going on, it seems it was one worm with the tube part woven under the stolons of the coral. But then when I look at the picture it kind of looks like there’s another opening on the top right of the right side spot. I first broke off the tube on the left, but I didn’t see the spiral part there. So I pried off the spot on the left, which was, I believe the spiral part of the same worm. Pretty sure I got the whole thing. The piece it was attached to was a separate little piece of rock, and was now dangling by a single stolon. So I nipped it off.

Sounds like you got it. It's really hard to tell from pictures sometimes.
