    so first thing is i will try to get a picture but this is so small and my camera isnt very good. But basically ive noticed my zoas have been closed for a while now and i look real close only to see some sort of white tiny little anenome type thing. Its definately not apastia tho. The weird thing is that if you could picture how poision ivy grows over and between rocks/crevices, thats what these sort of white strings/tentacle things r doing. They are growing between each head and i think stressing the zoas. Any ideas????

    Sounds like it could be Hydroids or Tube worms.
