Bought 10 Scarlet hermits, and this guy is def not part of that sub.

Ideas? Yellow tip maybe?

The tips seem more white than yellow.

I noticed my sunny d Paly has a weird perforation on it, and one wont open, and if it's because of this guy, I'm gonna eat him myself with a drop of hotsauce and wasabi.

Not sure on the Hermit, but there is some Bryopsis Algae growing in front of your zoa, spreads like fire and difficult to eradicate. If at all possible manually remove it, otherwise you may need to treat it with Kent Tech M.

The hermits ate a ton of it. There was bryopsis on almost every rock, and now there is only like 3 rocks with it.

So if it gets out of control, I will handle it, until then, the hermits are eating everything green

Would love to know more about Kent m.

After some research, it seems to be a horrible addition to the tank, bryopsis that is

Did you mean the zoas in the very front of the picture, or the two palys in the rear?

The stuff by the two paly is very dark, and a bit more robust than the hairlike algae by the zoas in the forefront
