Hi guys. It’s my first time posting here. I just want to know what is this thing attached to my torch coral. Should I dip my coral or should I scrape this thing off? I need your opinions for this. Thank you!

Looks like a harmless feather duster. You should be able to see a crown emerge from one end. GL.

Do I have to scrape it off? I’m planning just to brush it off (hope it works). Or do I have to dip it?

They're not going to hurt your Torch coral so you can just leave them be. Keep an eye out for that crown though. (maybe at night) If days go by and you never see one come out, then those white things are basically just empty shells. GL.

Just scrape them off with your finger and put it back it’s no flatworm so it’s fine just get that piece off
