Don't think so. Read rest of thread. I think ISpeakForTheSeas solved it.

Thank you for posting, I cannot find anything else and appreciate this thread. I have them all over, but not seen an associated negative effect.

Yeah, unless they start growing over corals, they’re harmless filter feeders, so you shouldn’t see any negative effects.

Wow crazy! Those look just like what I had. Unfortunately that zoa colony didn't make it.

Just discovered the same on my colony of Magician zoas. Whenever I touched one it shot water out exactly like a tunicate would! They don’t seem to be bothering the colony so far so just considering them a cool find for now
