If they are translucent and perhaps a bit yellowish they could be flatworms. See if you can scrape one off with your fingernail- if it is a flatworm it will swim a bit when disturbed. If such is the case, these worms won`t usually kill the soft corals, unless their numbers become great enough to shade the coral. Although these can be killed with flatworm x or whatever it is called, they ussually will die off on their own in time. Best guess for no picture!

I believe it's just the mouth; sometimes, when my mushrooms are agitated, five tiny arms, each no longer than 5 millimeters (half a centimeter) come out. I don't know what the tiny "arms" are, but I have concluded it's natural as I have seen it in others' tanks. Sometimes the "arms" in my mushrooms just poke out of the mouth, giving the allusion of a dot.
I hope this was coherent....
