Weird worms on coral

[Colin_1122]

there are little bugs coming off my coral when I dipped them. Not sure what these are, these are my very first frags. What should I do?

Better pic so you can see the little white things. I have no idea what these are can anyone help

I can’t really see what they are...IMO I wouldn’t worry as you dipped them so they are dead.

Do you think the frags are ok to go in my tank or should I do anything else?

That’s a better picture, they are bristle worms, your frags are fine, Bristle worms are actually a good member of the clean up crew!

Dipping corals and then placing them into a Quarantine tank is a good idea. Most dips will not kill encysted ich or velvet parasites. 76 days in a QT, plus you don't want any of the dipping liquid to get into your main tank. Especially if you are dipping with Bayer. Bayer is a nerve agent and can kill your inverts and even fish if the dose is high enough.
