Whitish clear sacs and swelling on polyp coral.

I noticed around a week ago there was some aptasia on the coral, but my peppermint has taken care of it. Would this have caused the polyp to swell?

not sure jerry.  im sure someone will have an opinion tho.

Its just the one, if it wants to die, just die already so the other ones can move into that space haha

The shrimp probably just irritated it when walking over it. The polyp will be fine soon enough...

haha. hopefully it heals up. ill have to keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse or not. the clear sac underneath almost looks like a molt of some sort, but it is definitely attached to the top of the polyps stalk right below the swelling.

Could it be new growth?

The one I noticed It on before is still a bit swollen. The white sacs seem to be disappearing, but now another polyp is swelling. Could this be a water quality issue?

I do believe it was new growth ( clear looking part), still not sure on swelling but it seems to have gone away.
