Zoanthids look deformed

[Tathamet]

Hey everyone,

One type of Zoanthid I have seems to be developing thick rings around their base or stalk. They don’t seem irritated or anything that I can tell and they’re always open.

Also none of my other zoanthids appear to show anything similar.

any idea what it is?

Note: They’re a bit closed in the picture because I was cleaning the glass and they retracted a bit.

Could be some type of pest. Try dipping and see if that helps.

interesting, I will do that. What kind of pests do you think would cause that?
