Hi, Y’all I just received my first auction corals in the mail today. Currently in acclimation but I noticed white bundles of worms on my chalice coral and the stony part of my frogspawn. Any idea. They look too worm like to be nudibranches. Please help! Do I dip in iodine or just DI water.

I can’t see any bundles of white worms in the photos, but are you sure they’re not mesenterial filaments? Chalices are especially apt to put those out.

I dip all my new LPS corals in iodine (Seachem ReefDip) for 15 min prior to putting them in the DT.
