Thank you.

I’d say it’s aptasia. Have you got some Aptasia X on hand or something similar?

Yes, I like F-Aptasia by Franks Tanks and keep it on hand, I haven't seen any in over a year. Maybe it's time to add peppermint shrimp back in this tank. Thanks.

Add a few peppermints and see if they eat em.

That looks like a tile. Are they only on the tile? I would take it out, try to shave off the zoa polyps and reglue them on plugs in a QT and then chunk the tile. That or try to treat the tile with F-aiptasia in a separate tank/container. Zoas should be OK for a bit.

YES, it's from one of my Zoas frag tanks, I don't see it on any other frags, but I will toss in 2-3 peppermint shrimps this week. That Frag has been removed - Thank you.
