Hey I’ve had these zoas in my tank for a while now and it has had this weird green bubble like polyps in between some Zoanthids. Could anyone help identify what this is?

Im seeing Majano and aptasia if im seeing correctly as pics are somewhat distorted.
A simple method of eradication is using a syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away

I use aptasia X would this work on the majano?
If majano, and not comfortable with squirting stuff around zoas, you can use a small nem cannon. Unlike aips, majano are more prone to reproduce by budding/splitting. They will spawn, but not like aips.
Just use a smaller piece of pipe and smaller piece of sponge to remove the majanos using the link to the reef below. In addition, this ensure that no piece f the majano is left behind that could form a new on in the ones that a removed places.

You can start with it. Getting rid of aiptasia and majano's usually is a prononged process. Assume if there's one there's more and you may need to try different methods.

I too do not have good experience for aptasia X. Some use Zapping with a wand which I also found ineffective.
