    I just saw this on my small colony of zoas. I almost know for a fact but I could always get a second opinion :'(

    What plan of action should I take? This is the only one I could see. I don't have aip anywhere else in the tank.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Yes it's an aiptasia.

    Remove the frag from the display, make up some thick kalk paste, pat the frag dry with a paper towel, take a q-tip and apply to only the aiptasia, let sit for 3-5 min in the open air, rinse with SW and return to display. Zoanthid frags are sometime shipped dry in news paper so a couple minutes of air time is no big deal.

    You could always inject it with lemon juice as well. That's what I did to mine.
