Sick Zoa?

[DrummerWithFish111]

Greetings! Attached is a picture of one of my zoanthids, and one of my palyzoas. There seems to be a weird tentacle-like thing coming out of my orange zoa. Is this a pest I can get rid of? I also have a similar thing on the side of my galaxea, which has not opened fully since the day I got it a few weeks ago. my palys only ever open this much anymore. Parameters are normal! Checking nitrate, phosphate, alk, calc, mag, and pH.
If anyone has any insight, i’m all ears!

Not sure what you’re referring to as pics are very blue and needs to be retaken under white lighting

Looks like sponge maybe. Would need to make the zoas close up to get a better look at it. Dont need a white pic.

Here is a better zoomed pic, in question is circled in red.
its like a tentacle. Someone at a LFS told me that there were pest snails that could kill your zoas, so I thought maybe that?

I see a tube and common amongst zoa are tube worms. Best recourse is to place a dab of gel superglue on the tip of it and it will starve

I have them in the past also, glue will take care of it.
