Acro bumps

[SolarEclipse]

Hey, I noticed today on one acro that there are some almost really small pimples on it. They are not AEFW, these little bumps are the color of the coral. They almost look like tiny nodes. Couldn't take a pic, since my camera doesn't zoom that close. This coral is normally very smooth skinned, but just random tiny bumps. Anyone know what this is or anything? Everything else in the tank shows no sign of stress, or this "coral herpes" at all.

I have seen these on a smoothed skinned coral before, they seem to come and go also. I haven't checked for them in a while. Have you ever had aefw? Just wondering because I have and when I noticed these bumpy areas I started about 4 months after my last dip. I posted about it and did t get any responses. I also noticed white filiments in the same areas but before the bumps started. No clue if any of it is related or what any of it means. I have not scene any flatworms since my last dip session 6 or 7 months ago and all the corals look great so far. I am not saying they are gone, but I have looked for them every month and can't find anything.

Hopefully someone can help.

Mine were so small it was like the texture of the skeleton was raised in the small areas, maybe 1/4" areas. Really hard to get a pic of without a nice camera. I am not pulling out any more corals or I would try and find a spot if they are still there. But I have told myself I am not looking for anything else that's wrong I am only looking at things that are going right. No more searching for aefw that I can never find because it makes me nuts when I find anything a little out of the ordinary.

Well I tried to scrape then off, and it felt and came off like coral skeleton. No I have not had AEFW, but I had red bugs. They are gone now.
