Hi,

I've noticed that a "parasite" is killing my Acro. It's like if a worm replaces the polyp (see picture) with a "stick". Any advise on how to kill it?

yo that's weird. Hopefully someone has an answer for you
 
Pretty sure those are vermetid snails. It’s not killing your coral, the coral is encrusting up the worms tube. They will get longer and longer as the worm grows.
 
Algae grows on the worm tissue or skeleton. Is there any way I can get rid of them?

Didnt even think of them. Usually mine send out that stupid looking net.

On a side note, i usually scrape them off OR as the coral is growing, they can encrust and cover over them. With the few vermatids I have, you can see the worm hole
