What is this. I just noticed them but there's allot they move around like a flatwom but don't look like one, i have also noticed some of my monti has started to die, hopefully they aren't montipora eating nudibranch
I just checker my monti on the under and top side with no sign of nudibranches, still have no clue what these white "slugs" areNot sure about the white “slugs”.
The montipora looks like the death caused by Montipora eating nudibranch.
Have you examined the underside of the montipora for nudibranch?

The only predator that you have to be concerned about for plating Montipora sp. are Montipora eating Nudibranchs. They are very very small, and typically white. You may see what appears to be microscopic grains of white rice piled up in a spot, and these are probably nudibranchs if they don't...www.melevsreef.com
Ok thanks! Just cut off the part just incase It was RTNThat is usually RTN from what I’ve seen with my previous montipora losses. Now I will frag montiporas if they look like that. I’ve tried leaving them alone before but they usually completely die unless the dead parts are cut off.
This makes me even more confident they could be nudibranch. Find out how long the eggs take to hatch, likely those are babies and the eggs were laid on the frag/plug.i've had the monti for over a week now
Yea I thought the same thingThose look like planaria, not nudibranchs. Usually those tiny planaria are fairly harmless unless they’re in absolute plague proportions. They can be eliminated with various chemical treatments if you want, but probably not worth it.
For what it’s worth, montipora eating nudibranchs are white and look kind of frilly.
