Hello! I decided to make a couple of purchases last weekend on WWCs Summer Sale here on R2R. One of them happened to be a nice Salted Agave polyp. among various other things. Everything else has been settled in the tank for 2-3 days now and is doing well/opened up, well, everything besides my Salted Agave. It opened up for the first day or two, but now its mostly been closed up and I noticed that it started "flaking" or something, where the skin of the zoanthid is shedding/coming up I guess? At first I thought maybe they nicked it with a razor blade when fragging or something, but then earlier today I saw that there were a second piece of the skin coming up. All of my other zoanthids are doing perfectly fine and I have not seen this before. I have attached a couple pictures. Any help would be grateful!
