very possible, check your zoa colonies VERY carefully with a magnifying glass.

ok checked the big colony and didnt see any of them then i went on to my other colony of 5 zoas and BAM i see one the same size so i put it in a little cup and then grabed some twezzers and took the little guy off then i see about 4 more smaller ones so i take those off too. i know there might be more so i left the zoas in a cup and i will check it time to time to see if i can see more.

Look for eggs as well. They will hatch in a few days. Dobejazz had a great pic of the eggs. I'll see if I can find it.

Here it is:
Easiest way to get the eggs off is to cut the entire polyp off and throw it away.

FW dip will kill the adults but not the eggs.
