Montipora cap issue!!!

[hockey00]

I have a green montipora cap that has some type of pest embedded in it. There are three or four different spots. I pulled the coral out about three months ago and glued the spots with super glue. That took care of them but know they are back. It looks like they are at the same spots. It looks like small antennas sticking out of the holes. If I try to touch them they retract. It doesn't look like it is causing the coral much damage but the coral is irritated. The coral puts slime out every couple days. I can't get a picutre, the coral sits at the back of tank. Not sure what they are any suggestions

Those are annoying worms I forget the name just snap them off with needle nose pliers or tweezers.

Not so easy to get rid of those buggers, maybe frag off the part with the worms and regrow your cap?

If you have any syringes, fill it up with kalkpaste, jab it in the enclosure and inject.

Leave it there for 30 mins to an hour. Make sure your pumps are off so it doesn't spread debris everywhere.

When it's time, use a siphon to draw everything out within the vicinity.

Once completed, just turn the power heads back on, any remnants of the kalk paste is just food for the corals.

The other method you can do is just seal it up with superglue, but that'll cause the worm to relocate and case more damage to the montipora.

Goodluck!
