Hi Everyone!
I've had these zoas for a couple years and they started melting after a small purple/red polyp started appearing a few months ago. I now have this big transparent purple/red polyp with what appears to be a mouth, plus 3 others growing behind it. Any idea what could have attached itself? I've been reefing for about 3 years and have never seen something like this yet, and have had no luck searching Google.

Pics unfortunately aren't quite clear enough for me to tell.
 
It does look like Red Bubble algae.
