    Tank has been unhappy. 65g btw My scoly is not doing well and losing an acan. Also my frogspawn looked crappy. My levels are ok. Been the same. Doing weekly water changes. I dose reef energy so nothing has changed. No additions either.

    Tonight when checking my tank I saw something on my frogspawn. Grabbed the lite and noticed it moved when I hit it with light. I yanked the coral out of the tank and into a bucket. This is what was on it. I have no clue if it's good or bad. I removed it reguardless. Hard to get good pics. If this is bad what should I do next? I really don't want to lose anymore stuff.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    As long as you have it out of the tank I would either put it in the sump or give it a decent burial. I can not make out the worm in the images, but it does not look like a common bristle worm.
