I’ve got lots of zoas but I’ve only ever seen these weird off-white tentacles on the Rastas. They’re not always in the same spot and only started appearing when the zoas started to grow in the tank under new (stronger) lighting. I’m pretty sure zoas don’t have sweeper tentacles, and these seem way too big to be new polyps growing, so does anyone know what this is?

You can try a peppermint shrimp , I believe they will eat it , Theresa few ways to get rid of , but if there’s 1 there’s probably a few more . Take action ASAP and you should be able to control it no problem

Aiptasia and it looks to be big enough to start reproducing. Kill it with kalk paste asap, or just get rid of the whole colony. Once you get aiptasia they can be with you for a LONG time.

Wow, I was actually about to buy a peppermint shrimp just because I like them so this is kinda ironic. Thanks everyone for the info, I’ll hit it with vinegar and then hurry up with getting a shrimp.
