Hi everyone,
Got a new fruit loops zoa frag and i did the normal coral rx and then qt tank for a couple days. This frag has been in my dt for a couple weeks getting it acclimated to leds. Anyway i noticed what looks like tentacles (either a small feather duster or worse a small aiptasia). Anyway, the pic quality is a bit poor as it is from my ipad--if you look at the main fruit loop polyp (left) and baby polyp on right--right in between there are four whiteish tentacles. Whenever something comes disturbs like when i target feed phyto or a hermit crab goes on top the frag, it will disappear for a few seconds then come back. Any ideas? Paranoid about aiptasia? Plz help before i start glueing the area and possibly ruin my fruit loops.
