I have a what looks to be a worm going through my SPS. Has anyone else have something like this happen to them? Im still kind of new to the SPS side and this one was my first one and it has been doing great untill this last week and then it really started to go down hill. When I pulled it out I seen what looks like a worm has been going through it any ideas on what it is and what I should be looking out for?

If there are entry and exit holes in the coral like some other pests/symbiotic worms, you can superglue over the holes. I've done this in the past to eliminate some filter feeding worms on some of my corals.

There is also a type of algae that bores into corals.
