Very odd situation, a new Rasta frag came in last week and all the polyps have been opening fine, but this morning one polyp took a massive dump and then opened with a film over the face and most of the skirt.
I tried blowing it off, and poking it off (gently), with no result.
I also encountered a similar film on a Bob Marley polyp a month or so ago, but that was only a partial covering, didn't affect the skirt, and cleared up on its own in a few weeks. Currently dosing KanaPlex for a potential infection on another polyp. Should I just keep doing this for now?

Contains more Zoas, Tisbe copepods, Sexy Shrimp, and dosing with Phyto. Tank is 2.75 months old, polyps have not moved since initial placement.
