The Aptaisa is stinging the zoas which will make them mad and may die.

Yep= being overtaken by aptasia
Best bet is using a syringe, mix kalkwasser powder into a thin paste and inject into the core of each one. You may have to do a couple at a time but they will melt away without harm to zoas and You win. Hopefully they are confined to that frag and Not elsewhere in the tank.

Yes, aptasia is fairly common. Get some aptasia x or mix up some really strong kalk paste. Put a syringe close to the anemone and feed it the kalk. Make sure all flow is off for the massacre and don’t turn the flow back on for 10-15 minutes after you’ve done the treatment. After the treatment, blow off the zoas with a turkey baster to make sure they aren’t in contact with the kalk for too long.
