Zoas shrinking - help

[Alexttk]

Hi. My zoas was well but last few days it’s been shrinking and I noticed another soft coral is growing. Not sure if is a pest? Are they the reason and should I pull them out?

Look like aiptasia

Oh yes... run a picture match, it’s aiptasia! Was wondering if it’s nudi or white starfish that has causes it. Thanks Indeco! It helps to narrow down the issues.

Sometime I just cut it off if it’s a rock. Or scrape it off.

You can buy peppermint shrimp to eat the aiptasia. But if you choose to scrap it off. Remember to do it out of your tank. Or it might spread

Thanks for input. I have made some move to remove the aiptasia as per below link. Guess peppermint shrimp might be better way forward as new aiptasia came back at similar spot...
