Hi there, my Duncan has been big and happy the past two weeks. This weekend I added a few new LPS coral and today my Duncan has been shriveled and moody. Upon closer inspection I noticed these little white/tan/translucent things on its flesh. They are tiny so it’s hard to distinguish their shape but they seem strongly, almost like balled up worms. Has anyone encountered these before? Should I be worried? Maybe do another dip?

Try searching for flatworms on LPS on google and see if the pics look similar
Doesn’t quite look ovular and flat, maybe it could be adolescent flatworms but they don’t really look the same. Should I try another dip?
