New Predator?

[gon08]

I'm stumped with this one. They showed up a few weeks ago and have exploded in their numbers. They are white with no visible eyes or mouth. They crawl as well as swim freely. They haven't harmed anything other than Pocillopora damicornis and Stylophora pistillata.

All the pocillopora and stylophora in this tank is gone now.

Not sure. Haven't added anything new in months, and I dip all new corals. They may have been in the tank for a while and just exploded when conditions became right for them.

I did but I cant's see any details with a magnifying glass. They move pretty quick so it's hard to get good macro pictures also.
Im gonna get some to look at under a microscope as soon as I can.
