I have searched around and haven't had any luck identifying what this is...has anyone had something like this? Currently my tank is thriving except this dang zoa colony.

I suspect some kind of anemone, check if they are extended tentacles at night as well.

Looks like Hydroids. Too small to be aptasia
Treatment: Remove all visible hydroids with a scalpel or razor blade, or treat with pickling lime or Joe's Juice

Thank you. It came to my mind.. but i felt these are too chunky to be hydroids.. quick google revealed there are way many types of them.. including the ones shown here
