I’ve noticed this on the tip of my pink millepora for a month or so (maybe longer) but today it dawned on me that it might be a pest.
I’ve had this coral for about four months and it is growing fine but this tip looks different than the others.
I’m just wondering if it might be a bad guy and if so, what’s the best way to get rid of it?
Thanks

Really tough to see. You don’t need two posts. In my experience it leads to less responses IMG_9045.jpeg

Why wouldn’t I need two posts? They are two separate questions. Maybe you didn’t read both of them?
One is about something growing on a coral and the other is a question about a snail.
Also, I will circle what I am asking about on this post. Maybe you’ll be able to see it then. If not I can put arrows pointing to it. Let me know.

That looks like a normal growth polyp to that coral. Typically the center top polyp is larger than the side polyps

Ok thanks. I wasn’t sure since it looks different than the other tips and it resembles the nudibranch that I used to have on one of my montipora.
This has been on there for quite some time though and it has never moved or caused damage that I can see.
