What is this thing eating up the Hammer?

[125tank]

Does anyone knows what this white thing is eating up my hammer? I can only see it at the rim of the skeleton in the morning. I tried to suck it out but it stuck on pretty good and then tried to sneak right back underneath the flesh.

Also, would dipping it into Revive Coral Cleaner Dip get rid of it?

Here's a video of it and a couple pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I would try some tweezers next time you get the chance to go after it. Get it out of the tank and into a container of some sort so you can get a good photo of it to share with everyone

I use Coral Rx. It should kick most bugs, worms etc out. I say get it out of the tank, dip it for mins and see what all come out. I have seen some nasty things come out. After that dip in iodine and see how it does.

All I see are messentrial filaments they're a part of the coral used for defense or when stressed. Looks like he' detaching from the skeleton for some reason and most likely why your seeing them.
