Chalice is growing eyes?

[psycjoe]

I have a chalice coral in quarantine and I'm noticing what looks to be small zoa polyps growing beneath it. Does anybody know what this could be? I'm really just curious if this could be some kind of pest. The chalice is purple and red but the "eyes" are growing green.

Looks like what you said Zoas growing under it.

Yep, zoa under it.

Awesome. Thanks, guys. I just attempted to conceal my first aiptasia with super glue in my quarantine tank so had pests on my mind.

Be glad they’re zoas and not Aiptasia.
