acro eating worm

[phantomg23]

Today i saw that one of my new acros was loosing its flesh and then bleaching. its dying branch by branch. I fragged a tiny piece with my hand and dipped it (the whole thing is epoxied on) and a .5mm worm thing came off. What is it? it doesnt look like a flatworm. and also what are the odds of the 5 branch frag making it?
