Hi Everyone,

Looking for some help with identifying a growth. I have two frags that I picked up a few months ago that are doing great. I had them in a quarantine tank for about 14 days prior to placing into my main tank (impatience got the best of me...). About a month after being in the main tank, I started to notice that the zoas were partially closed. There was a white, very thin branching structure coming from the plug (there was also some on an acan but it did not seem to bother it). When removed from the tank, the structure remained fairly rigid. I did not manage to get a good photo of the growth prior removal from the tank. I scraped it off several times and it has grown back within a few days. I was able to get some on a slide and have attached photos.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. I searched and searched and could not find anything like it on this forum or the internet as a whole.
