Looking for an ID of this creature
So these things are gradually multiplying in my reef. I noticed them a few months ago and I think they ate my Rasta Zoas. They don’t seem to do any damage apart from that but I no longer have any Zoas yet their numbers are still increasing.
They also don’t seem to move, but I have a couple of SPS where there’s a few of them huddled very close to the base of it, although the coral seems fine. The other thing is, little parts of the creature fluoresce under blues. Pics attached with the creature circled, they are roughly a centimetre in diameter. |

Are they hard or soft? Do they shrink and expand with night/day?
