Thanks! Do they usually close up at night?

I just came home and it didn't look too good. So I turned on the lights to check. Hermit crabs been bothering them since I put them in so I'm not sure if that the issue for why it looks that way. I also found a little critter crawling around it. It had a much of lights white and really small and thin.

Here's how it looks now. I relocated it so
Hopefully the hermits wont bother the zoas.

They look fine to me. They will close up at night so that's normal. As far as the crabs go my hermits will sometimes crawl over a coral and they will shut up but I've never had a hermit harm a coral. Give the zoas a few days to get used to their new environment. They should be just fine. There a lot hardier than we think!

What's the thing that's on the zoa? Should I pull it off or leave it? I think it might be aiptasia. How should I go about removing it so it doesn't spread?

So I came home for the weekend and checked up on my tank. Prepped my water for the weekly water change.

And I noticed this in my tank... What is it?!?!? Could it be a starfish? Or is it a parasite ?

Looks like a Florida ricardia, could be wrong, the pic is a little blurry.
