Aptasia ?

[viceversabrd]

Hello everyone. I quarantined these zoa frags for 45 days and didn’t see any pests did coral rx dip. Frags have been in my tank about 2 weeks post QT, today I noticed these small looking polyps in between the green zoas, I don’t think they’re baby Zoas haha and also don’t think they’re aptasia as they seem more uniform than aptasia but worried they might be. Tank is new and there is no pre existing pests/aptasia. What do you think they are ? Thank you

Need more clear pics under white light. Aptasia will enter your tank sooner or later. It is inevitable.

Agree with above, we need pics under white light. If it is aiptasia, don’t panic, there are several ways to get rid of it and everyone has their personal favorite. Mine was a peppermint shrimp. Happy to tell you more once we can confirm what you are thinking!

Thanks guys will take pics tomorrow AM with my white lights on. The polyps in question looked more visible on my phone screen when I took the pictures. But it makes sense as the the two orange zoos were happy as clams during QT whereas they green ones have been a bit more lethargic not opening everyday and whatnot so maybe these polyps have been bugging them.

Or it could just be that they are acclimating to the DT, maybe a little stressed out.
