Too late im afraid i did a search on google and it came up with a couple of results but nothing substantial or indepth, Suffice to say thats enough for me precautions and all that so i binned the frag

They were smaller than a pin head and jet black around 15 or so on the top side not underneath
No die back or signs of anything been eaten although it wasnt polpying, The best google result i found was over coming them .. so gawd knows what they are, The frag didnt come from jasons so no panic
may not even be harmful aswell.

Best result i found so far

''Montipora (free of the Montipora eating nudibranch, the Montipora eating flatworms, and the black Montipora bugs!): ''
