Hi! Yesterday I received my first Zoa, protopalytoa and Xenia. On the protopalytoa I see a lot of small polyps on the bottom of a protopalytoa. are these small new protopalytoas or is it some sort of pest like aptaisia?

I agree with @Saltyreef seems to be xenia not babies or aptasia, baby palys and zoas look like a mini version of the full grown polyps, xenia can grow like a weed and overwhelm the paly
