Walked by the tank and saw what I thought was a Zoa polyp. It has antennas and it’s walking.
Ive never seen ont that looks like this. Should I get it out?

I looked online and couldn’t find anything that looked even close to it. I know that some eat Zoa’s and it was right near my colony and the same color as the polyps. Luckily, it was on a small piece of base rock. I pulled the rock out ( really ticked off my Frogspawn) and it went into a hole in the rock.
Sad and a little ashamed to say but I bagged up the rock and it’s in the freezer. He will go to sleep and I’ll toss the rock.
I hated to do it but I didn’t want to take any chances. I had to act quick while I could still see where it was. :(

That’s the one! About 1/2” in length. Must have been in my rock since the beginning. I dip my corals. Maybe they can survive the dip?
Anyway, it’s gone now. Still makes me sad to have to put something down like that. :(

I have 3 frags with only a few polyps on each. I think they should be okay but I have 2 colonies, one with about 40 polyps and another with over 100. I’ll dip those tomorrow.

Thank you my friend! I’ll do some research on it in the morning and start the process.
