Yep, looks like you've got yourself a flatworm infestation. There's several remedies available, but since I do not have any experience with them, I cannot make a specific recommendation. Quarantine of the affected corals is a must. Check your other corals carefully- you must kill all the flatworms to stop them. Oh, I'm sure you know that collecting corals, live or dead, is illegal in Florida waters.

Indeed invasion of the flatworms.. lesson learned I hope. I too have never had to deal with them but there is a product called flat worm exit you may want to look into. I just hope they arent the coral eating kind...

That was more of a nudge nudge comment. I live on the Treasure Coast, the home of Saltwaterfish.com and I, too collect specimens of all types for my totally native 75. Note to self: Do not invite any FWC officers over for dinner!
