Update -- I dipped the zoa and cleaned it off, and it appears to be doing much better now. More frequent water changes and using some airline tubing to siphon out cyano has the tank looking much cleaner too. However, the cloves has been sort of wilting over the last few days. It does have some new polyps which appear to be doing well though. Will some older polyps normally wilt and die? Also there are some aiptasia growing around them. Could the cloves be getting stung by them?

Thanks. I've attached a photo of whatever is on the pally to the original post.

This is my first marine tank with corals. Its been going pretty well over the last two months other then a bit of a problem with purple slime. I became a official member at the frag swap and that is also where I got all of these corals. The orange one at the top center of the tank is what I got for free with becoming a member. I have no idea what its called so if anyone can identify it that would be cool. I also have a question about my green pally. A couple days after I got it home a white bump appeared on its side and has been growing since then. It now quite large and forcing the polyp to be half closed when its open. My best guess is that it might be a tumor but I don't know if coral can even get cancer like that. Luckily the three smaller polyps around it seem to being doing well. First image is of the first day and second is of the tank today. The growth circled in red. There is also some purple cyano stuck to it. Polyps are all closed because I took this during night time.

Are there any places in Indianapolis or Avon that sell live rock or aquacultured live rock? I'm having trouble finding one.
