Tbh that looks like some type of sponge. I cant say for Sur but I wouldn't worry too much as long as the coral is ok

Its a new coral to me. The white above the hole has only appeared today. This was the coral 5 days ago when it arrived. Also unsure what the little bugs are on it

cryptic sponge, It should lift up with small crochet needle or dental pick. Can become widespread- best to remove now
The tube you see is a Vermetid snail and best defense is to place Gel superglue from the dollar store over the hole ASAP. Breaking off is not an option with particular coral

These are pineapple sponges and derive from silicates in the tank. They are short live and no harm- just a nuisance in numbers

Ah ok. Yeah im fallow atm due to a case of ich. Bit og algae in the tank and hanna checker shows 0.002 phos and 15.1 nitrate. Still trying to get nitrate down a bit more just didnt want to do too quickly as no fish in the tank
