White stuff on paly

[CornishCrustyCorals]

So I noticed the main body of this paly had this white stuff on it when it was eating or closed you could see it now it's kinda moved up towards the mouth. Is it shedding of some kind? This one has grown a lot recently

Hi, zoas dont shed at least not in my experience. Maybe look at bacterial infections and fungus. Could it just be an accumulation of detritus? Does it blow off?

 

[CornishCrustyCorals]

It doesn't blow off its almost like its a coating and it seems to be pulling it towards its mouth.

Update on it been an hour

 

[PicassoClown04]

Well man idk, wait another hour and see if the zoa eats the thing? Interesting experiment

Looked like a snail trail but I don't have any snails or any cuc or anything other than dang flatworms which there aren't any near it as it seems to be clearing hopefully its nothing.

Yeah, flatworms crossed my mind but it doesnt appear to be any type of flatworm that I've ever seen. Keep an eye on its progression and lets see what happens!
