My Zoa's going to pop?

Part of my Zoa looks like it's gonna pop, any idea what it is doing? And should I take it out, leave it or cut it off.
Any advise would be great.
Thanks

They look pretty normal to me. How along ago did you put them in your tank? They are still aclimating to your lights and it might take a few days for all the polyps to fully open up.
If all of them aren't open after a week, I would say that you might have a pest eating them. A nudi or a sun snail. They are usually visible after the lights have been off for about an hour. I had a nudi on my zoa's, but i sucked that sucker up with a syringe, and so far haven't seen any more!

I've had it for about a month now, it does open fully. It's the one takers back or the right . Looks like a blueberry. With four little pimples. I got an emperor angel(thinking not a good choice) saw him nipping last night. Might be the villian I think.
