Zoas with hitchhiker

[Chris145G]

Hi .
I just purchased my first corals and on one of the zoas frag there seems to be another coral or whatsoever it is. Its fluorescent green/red and it does seems like it is breathing.
When i purchased the frag at my lfs 2days ago it wasnt there and now its bigger then the zoas (colony frag) any ideas what is it. The picture are not really representing what color it is but i did my best.
If that is another coral should i remeve it from the zoas plugg and place it somewhere else??

Looks like a mushroom coral. Super easy to care for and often they move very slowly and leave a trail of little mushrooms as they do!

There seems to be a small worm on it as well i did a video as the pic cant capture it. Is there any option for uploading videos on forum??

What does the worm look like?

Hmm a brown like jelly and white head or eye. Just a tiny one you can see it on the last photo white eye sticking out

I can kind of see it. Does it look wide and flat or more thin and round?

It may be worth to take the coral out and remove the worm into a small container to examine.

I think that looks like a flatworm. Get it out.

Hmm. From the video it looks like its a flatworm which is not good. I'd remove it.
