"Anemone/Coral" ID Help

[Bento]

Hello,
I spotted something growing in my tank a roughly a week ago and didn't really think much of it. And today I noticed it has slightly increased in size (it's now ~0.5cm). It looks like it could be an anemone maybe. It's clear/pale brown with some fluro yellow/green balls on the tips of the tentacles and possibly on the "body". The tentacles retract when snails etc get close.

I've attached some photos from my phone there not the best but may help.

Thanks for your time and any help

Does it look like this?

If so ball nem which are technically not a coral or an anemone but a corallimorph, ime never had them spread too far or cause issues to corals. They are filter feeders.

Hey,
It doesn't look like a ball men (could be wrong). The tentacles look like they are over the whole surface unlike the ball nem

If the spot are stony, pocilopora. given the chance can spread about anywhere in a tank.

I think you might be on to something
I didn't even consider that since it appeared a few days before I put the pocillopora in. But it is on a new bit of live rock and the spots do feel stoney like you said

Looks like psaamacora could be a possibility, either that or poci seem like the closet. It may of hitchhiked on some recent frags not sure how psaamacora got there but I won't complain if it is.
