Zoa pest?

Found these guys in my zoa patch causing them to close up. Is this a parasite I should be worried about??

Anyone have any ideas??

Nope. It's more of like a white fuzz ball

This may be an odd question but sometimes my zoas shed when theyre unhappy. It looks sort of like a star shaped skin piece that I pull away from the very top of the polyp.
Could you maybe draw a picture of what you had? The pics just so blurry

After doing a little research, I'm thinking possible a type of hydroid?

it could be-hydroids make polyps very unhappy
