    so I got my first zoa today and it seems to be doing fine...I took a closer look at things and it looks like it has a very tiny brown BTA on it. I will try to get a good picture of it to see if someone can tell me if I indeed have a BTA

    I've looked online at a lot of pics to id this thing and it doesnt look like aptasia. it really looks like a tiny BTA but ill let settle in a little and look at it at a later time.

    It doesnt have long tentacles right? Looks like tiny bubbly tips? Most likely a majano.. When I was a newb, I had it and tried to SAVE it, found 5~6 off springs from it later on. If its a majano, its a pest, and Id take care of it ASAP.
