I got a free zoa frag the only problem is it’s covered in tiny anemones , should I snip off the ones at the end and throw the frag away

I sniped the end ones that were growing way from the anemones and threw the frags away
 
Just my 2 pennies, and a year long battle. Never put anything in your system even if it's free that has aptaisia on it, or if it's in the system it came out of. Even if you scrape it off you risk a costly outbreak. Almost cost me my reef.
 
thanks for the feedback and advice much thanks :)

Aptaisia can spread like wildfire, so I wouldn't put it in my tank.
