Brown Stems growing on Zoanthid Frag

[ericb1990]

Can anyone tell me what these brown things growing off of my zoa frag are? I'm super new to the hobby so this couuld be something super simple but I have no idea, thanks for any help!

Welcome to the family!

I have to agree with @fishguy242. Looks like a clove polyp. Keep an eye on it. They can grow quickly and overtake other corals close by. If you can, you may want to isolate it from the main rock structure.

Yep looks like cloves , so yeah be careful with that one and keep an eye on it though I would kinda consider it a twofer if the cloves color up nice .

Ditto on cloves. If you really like the zoas, now might be the best time to try and remove the cloves so they don’t smother the zoas
