Aiptasia, tubeworm or something else?

I found these guys on the base of my new chalice. Any ideas on what they are?

Turn your whites on for an id pic, its hard to see. But, without better pics i would say it is not an aiptasia, their tenticles are smooth, not with all the ridges.

My best guess with that pic is clove polyps. I agree not aiptasia

Looks like a Kenya tree sprout

Not at the moment, but I'll be able to get better pictures tomorrow. I was looking at pictures of aiptasia and I think you're right, the tentacles don't match!

I'll update you guys tomorrow with a white light picture, but hoping you guys are right and it's just a baby coral!

For sure clove polyps and although I love them, many dread them due to their ability to multiply quickly

+1 for clove polyps or some type of xenia/gsp

Hey everyone! Here is an updated picture with just the whites on in my tank. I did some reading up on clove polyps and it looks like blue clove polyps can take over a tank pretty easily. I can't really tell if they are blue clove polyps or some other kind of polyps as they are very small. If anyone has some insight on what these are exactly please let me know thanks!

+1 for xenia. If they were tiny blue clove polyps, they would still be blue with whites on.
