Hello!

My aquarium has been doing quite well except for 2 zoa colonies that happen to be close-ish to each other.

Now I've noticed this little white/yellowish things on one of my zoa colony.

Does anyone know what this is? Since it also happens to be on polyps that are struggling.

I agree that the far right seems to be pooping. For the ones on the left, I’d remove the growth and call it a day. Maybe do a pest dip just to be safe

Looks like emission of waste, which is not abnormal. This sometimes happens in relation to how they are fed. Target feeding is not a requirement as Zoanthids are photosynthetic. I have found that target feeding Zoanthids always provides mixed results, when a food particle falls onto the polyps.
