I have little branches of hypnotic acros in my tank and i just recently noticed a couple white spots on the coral, not big at all and they are not moving. i was just curious is their any type of disease that leaves white dots on sps corals? polyps are still fully extended and no bleaching, i am new to sps keeping so was just curious if something was wrong.

they are too small to see.. but you can see their bite marks which look like little white dots on the base of the acro and it slowly moves toward the branches and kills it.

when you say only acros what other coral names do you have in your tank? and where did you get those acros?
i got the acros from my friends tank and his tank is beautiful awesome growth i didnt see anything like that in his tank, and for other sps corals i have, 2 monti caps, an orange digi, porcileopora (deff now how you spell it), and a pink setosa. i was going to go out and buy some coral RX is that a good dip?

I noticed on one of my pieces that it looked like little white spots that I thought was aefw, but in actuality it is where new growth is forming. It deff scared the piss out of me , but I dipped the coral prior to putting in tank nothing. Two days later saw
White spot with a flash light and was like wtf. I pulled it out and dipped again. Nothing. Then I finally realized it wasn't bites. It was where new growth or polyps where forming.

In my case my sps where unhappy because my alk was too high saw similar signs of aefw receding at base and what looked like it could be aefw bites but once alk was fixed across got better

People say blasting them off is good. I don't think it is. It's better to pull it and dip it. If U blast them off, they can get int the water column and spread to other corals. Also they might be so small u wouldn't even know if anything was coming of the coral.
