Are these fungi inflection on my leather coral?
It still open a while ago before I move it to the edge for some clear pics.
Any ideas?

Those don't look like any polyps I've ever seen from a sarcophyton. They look more like eggs layer on the toadstools cap. Are there any polyps extending beyond those or is the coral being irritated by them?

It still have polyps extending in day time, those thing looks like leeching nutrients. I'm not sure what to dip with until I found out what type of thing it is.

have you tried to carefully flip one off with a tweezer or long handled scraper?

They look odd to me. I would do a 10-15 minute dip. Plant based dips like revive for stonys are less agressive than lugols if you're apprehensive about dipping.

This morning I found all those spore like things were gone :confused:
And I checked the coral without biting marks...hopefully is not leather eating nudi eggs:uhoh3:
I hope they wont come back with an army of nudis......
