Today I have found this bubble in my 15days ole Zoa's colony. Is it the simple of recovering the damaged polyp's or is it something serious to be taken care of. Please find below the image.

It does not look like a new polyp to me. They open and look like smaller versions of the adult polyps pretty early on. I've never seen something like that.

Thats interesting. To me it looks like the foot end of a zoa trying to find an anchor. Was that a side that was maybe pulled from its rock/substrate?

Nice looking colony. I'm not the most knowledgeable but I'll leave my ¢2.

If I were the owner, I would not be concerned. I would keep an eye on it and see what develops. Could start google'n around for an answer if you'd like though. They look happy from what I can tell.

I had a single polyp do something similar to that recently. It was a clear bubble the appeared to be coming from the mouth of one of the oldest polyps in the colony. It grew bigger then receded along with the zoa until it was down to the mat. It's been a few weeks now but it looks like there is a new polyp forming where the original had been, regenerating from the stup of the original. It did not affect the rest of the colony.

New clove polyps kinda look like that. I would just keep an eye on it and see what happens I don't think it's anything to be concerned about

google zoa pox and see if they look like this...
Hi thanks for your input, Zoa pox looks more like white spot in the google images and mine seems to be like an bubble. Like others said I also think it looks like the foot looking for an place to grip. I will wait for another week and observe how it's reacting. Will keep all of you informed.
