What is growing in my Zoa!?!?!

Peppermints may also cause them to reproduce faster unfortunately.
If were going with a natural eradication methods than a Berghia would be the most effective, however I wouldn't recommend to go overboard for a just a few aiptesias.

That’s true. Peppermints aren’t really clean when they eat it so they rip it out and get it everywhere.

Anecdotal evidence, but I had good luck with peppermint shrimp. I went from hundreds of aiptasias back to just one single aiptasia that has been haunting me for a year now.

its an aiptasia. You can try a product like Aiptasia X. It will kill your zoa if you get it on them, so just be careful

I guess it's like reef safe tangs, or crabs.
You think it's alright, until you get one that isn't.

Looks really new like noted.

I'd just pull the frag and hope the aiptasia didn't get into the tank.

Not a fun way to start a tank.

If it was me, I'd toss the frag. Aptasia are the biggest pain once they start taking over
Safer to just rid of it hate to say
