Torch coral flesh question..

mbmikebray · 09/15/2021, 07:32 AM

The 'skirt' flesh that is connect to the base of the coral has what look like small worms under the flesh. The coral has been fine since purchased approximately 2 months ago until recently it doesnt open/extended as much as previously.
I noticed this happening under the flesh very recently and would like to know if this is a parasite or is normal.
I can look at different times of the day and see the area is completely clear, at other times they are present under the fleshy shirt.
Should I dip? Would the dip solution penetrate under the fleshy area?
Thank you.
