Well, it sounds like that’s an option you don’t really want to consider - but I think it’s significant. Just because you never see them nip doesn’t mean they aren’t causing retracted polyps. Think about how in a refugium pods will run around all over the place even in the daylight, but won’t do it in a tank with fish. The fish keep the pods hidden, even though you don’t see your fish hunting pods. Same scenario with PE. The polyps aren’t out because they will get nipped, but you don’t see them getting nipped because they aren’t out.

I remember when zoanthids were called things like "green" and "orange" and not "reverse gorilla nipple."
