Negative, on the tip of the polyp where it’s shut. Little pink colored slimy almost a snail looking type deal without a shell.
Could be a nudi.. hard to tell again with blue lights and it being shut on it..

Have you actually seen the pest in question? It could be a zoa eating nudi..
Negative, polyp has been shut for a couple days now. Never saw this on it when I got it or when it closed until today. I thought the polyp shut due to a minor spike in nutrients (spilled some food in tank a little while back, wasn’t too much tho) everything in the tank stayed completely fine until this zoa shut. Based on their reputation (expensive & fragile) assumed it was the minor spike that caused it. But that was like a week ago by now & then today just happened to notice whatever this thing is right along the tip. I guess it could be a nudi looking at other pics. I’ll need to check it again thoroughly when I get home and try to get better pics.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
