So my colt coral hasn't opened up for weeks now. (it has indirect water flow and it sits around the upper part of the tank) Last week I noticed what looked like a nudibranch eating away at the coral. I also noticed what looked like lice (reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly tiny hard to see orange specks) running all over the shrunken coral. So I proceeded to make a dip with KENT Marine Tech.D dip. I bought it thinking it would kill anything on the coral. (Later I read the dip was used for bacterial infections and such.) As the dip was taking place I ripped the nudibranch from the coral (it was still alive an hour later after I left the slug in the dip). Ok well, its been a week after that and the coral has not shown any signs of getting any better, and I still am able to see the minuscle specks running all over the coral. What do you guys think I have to do? Every other coral seems fine except my elegance, which started whithering away around the same time as the colt :(.

they may be flatworms.
