Hey everyone, I've got a favia coral that I noticed today had some red balls surrounding it's mouth. Any idea what these might be? The tentacles are usually clear

Kind of look like red flat worms.

You can use the flatworm exit. Follow the instructions and you should be good.

If those are the only corals and you're able to remove, an RODI dip will cause them to fall off. Also a wrasse or two would help although there's no guarantee that they would eat them.

Awesome. I'll try the RODI dip first, I havent seen them on any other corals; just this favia. If that doesn't work I'll go to the flatworm exit and wrasses.
Thanks!
