There is an aiptasia growing in the middle of your zoas. Aiptasia are pests that's will quickly take over your tank.

If you can still pull the frag plug out and remove the aiptasia, that would be the best way to go about it.

My I ask was it LFS or online vendor that you got the frag from?

Lfs I’ve had it for about 4 months. So I need to take the coral out and remove it? Thanks

You could use Aiptasia-X to get rid of the aiptasia

Just be aware that Aiptasia can regrow itself from the tiniest particle....personally i had an Aiptasia invasion a while ago and a couple peppermint shrimp took care of it real quick.

If the aiptasia has been there for a while then there is a good chance it started reproducing asexually where smaller parts separate from the main anemone and form new ones. Also aiptasia can move around with their foot so don’t be surprised if you end up finding some more later on. Here is one of mine that recently reproduced asexually.
