White coral eating bug?

[Jackie BLue]

I have some SPS that i thought was getting bleached out. Upon closer inspection there seems to be small white bugs over the dying parts of the coral. I remember having this issue a while ago and I purchased some sort of nudi that ate these little suckers. Unfortuannly I forgot what thye were called and I cannot find information on either the nudi's or the pest doing a google search. These white "bugs" are small, very small. I'll try to get a better picture of them. This issue started when I introduced some livestock.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Are they on montipora or acropora?

They appear to be on both... I'll try to upload some pictures today. I'm thinking about getting a six line or maybe some flatworm exit.. I rather not dose the tank untill I know what I'm dealing with.

I'm not sure Flatworm eXit will help you. That's primarily for the red planaria worms that are harmless to corals, unless, I guess, you have a huge outbreak. They would kill the coral by smothering it, not eating it.
