    All parameters are fine. This has been in my tank for months along with a Turaki, which shows nothing of the same. Both have been growing well with great polyp extension. Nothing new added to the tank, no changes. Once upon a time some months back I had flat worms but they were in my fuge. I saw none in the DT. They have since been eliminated. I do have some CoralRX Pro, should I dip it?

    Its really hard to see, can you maybe take a magnifying glass and amp it up a little? all i see is a black,red spot.. im fairly sure acro eating flatworms are a pink ish red and more so clear, not a solid color.

    barnacle hole. Completely harmless. Gemmifera seem more prone to getting them than other acros in my experience. Just something else cool to look at.

    I can't see a thing and with no real description to go off of, I am useless.

    The spot is actually a tiny hole that goes into the coral. See the white dead tissue surrounding it? I've circled the dang thing ;)

    I can see where it is and the dark spot, but the photo shows no detail. Heck, the white looks like the coral is either bleaching or glue. Get my drift?

    How much detail you want? That's all there is to see. Get my drift? Lol

    It is a hole. You can't tell size or shape. How is this ASAP worthy? The coral will either grow over or around it.
