Hello every one,

I have solved many problems by viewing these forum's and have gained a heap of knowledge just from reading through the countless articles on here and many other sites, so I have at least managed to identify the worm to be a Eunice worm. I watched it come out of its burrow and take a literal chunk/bite out of my new elegance coral. The elegance was at near full bloom when I noticed it twitch and roll up on one side, looking into this I found the rather destructive looking worm and immediately started to research.

My questions are these really, am I able to FW dip an elegance coral? Perhaps there is an easier way to do this without stressing the coral so much. I have been suggested a coral dip solution from a friend and perhaps that can be purchased at my local fish shop?
 
Maybe I'm not understanding the situation. Is the worm burrow attached to the elegance?

Yeah the burrow is intact on the side of the coral base. I have purchased some coral dip however the shop keeper said it was very rare to find this worm and is not %100 sure it will extinguish the worm even with the dip. Thank you for you replies.
