Hello all!!!

Added three weeks ago a Zoa and kept the plug. While watching it couple of days ago just realized there is some sort of tiny coral or Aiptasia growing within it.

I need help with ID and remedy! (Apologies for the pic but this was the best quality without filters).

If you're talking about what I circled, it looks like some type of clove polyp.

Those are the ones. As soon as I get home I will try to repost a more visible photo.

Should I worry about those? I am new in the hobby

Welcome!

No, cloves are good, or I'll say I like them. Some can grow quickly and spread but generally not as fast as Green Star Polyps (GSP).

Here is some info on cloves (LINK).
