Red moving spots
I was looking at my xenia and i noticed it had red spots all over and then i realized they were moving. So i wanted to see if i could take one off and i did using the turkey baster and it is a completely flat round spot that resembles maybe a possible nudibranch type thing. Its real real small. My xenia right now is not even opening up but all my water tests say things are good. anyone know what this may be??

you can try to syphon out the ones you see. they also make a med you can use.i dont know the name of it. i think its flat worm exit. use under the recomended dose. and a 15 to 20% water change. can be harmfull to fish...thats why every one needs to quarintine before adding any thing to the main display.also i think there is a wrass that will eat them but idk..good luck and let us know how you make out.
