White worms eating my Cyphastrea….

[Stblindtiger]

I just found these two little white worms eating my Cyphastrea. See picture. The Cyphastrea has been in the tank for over a year and was just really starting to encrust the surrounding rock.

I used a pair of tweezers and I believe I removed those two worms, but where there is 1 or 2, there are most likely going to be more. Anyone know what these are, and how I can get rid of them???

By chance, do those worms have two little horns/antennae on their heads?

No horns or antenna on the little worms. They haven’t been back since I took them off, and they seem to be recovering a bit now. It’s actually a Flame boi favia, not a cyphastrea. Sorry about that. Hopefully it’s okay….
