Anyone ever see these? The have black specks that are hard to see in the picture.

I've not seen anything like it.

I think they will darken with time, they look a bit bleached.

Did you see them when your lights first came on, I have those things all over my tank and mine retreat into crevices when the light hits them.

Nice hitchikers.

They came on a live rock I acquired in November. They are legitimately clear and I don't think they will be coloring up since I've had them for so long already under T5's. I believe they are a type of Palythoa since they have a mouth and close when food comes available. They have not split at all. They also don't have any type of light preference. Sometimes closed during the day, sometimes open; and visa versa. Any other thoughts?

They look like neozoanthids.

Looks like bleached polar stars IMHO.

 

[benjabba]

They look like neozoanthids.

I second that.

Hard to tell by the pics but it may be bleached.

i had some that were stark white but had electric green mouths after about a month in my tank they changed colors

imo white zoanthids are ones that havent had much light and turn white but once they get back into light they change colors

i searched neozoanthid in google and found this at another site. They were calling them death wrath neozoanthids. Anyone else have more information on neozoanthid? I've never heard that class before. An honestly like I stated before they are not bleached. When closed the stalk is black and white speckles. I'll try to take a better pic. In the meantime here's a pic of the more black colored ones I found at another site:
