If it was in my tank I'd remove it immediately and start checkin my zoas and acropora for signs of more, and for signs of any eggs. My bet is on it being a bad guy.
Leslie never said they were pests, btw. Where did you learn what you think you know about Berghia? I am just curious. Will they mistake Zoas for anemonies?
