Pest or zoa?

[Ryan Rioux]

posted a while back when I had 2 of these on a rock. In the past 6 months I've upgraded the lighting . Since then 2 has turned into 20!!! I think maybe now it's easier to tell for sure what they are on the rock in my tank. Trying to find out for sure this way if there's an issue I can take care of it asap. Any help is appreciated ! Thank youuu

Yea it's a paly weed.
They spread fast. Treat em like an aptasia.
Inject with vinegar use app x or put them someplace you not care if they grow like the overflow and you can scrape them off.

How do you relocate something that can release toxins !!!

Don't remove them them at this point just poison them.
If you want to save some put a frag plug next to them or a rock that easily moved and let them grow over it.

Most zoa and paly are only toxic if they squirt you or you juice them and rub your eye and such. Most don't harm you if you handle them. Most.

When I move them and or scrape them off my overflow they're under water and I use gloves when I handle them before I toss them.
