Parazoanthus, indestructible rapidly growing soft coral

Are the mouths yellow? If so, they are Parazoanthus "Yellow Polyps", a type of zoanthid coral. If not, them they are likely Aiptasia anemones.

The general stalk shape/characteristics rule out aiptasia IMO

Aiptasia !

i agree with @Reefkeepers Archive and @Mr_Knightley on the parazoanthus

Take them out if you don’t want them everywhere. Look like they could be aptasia. If not, they could be fast growing yellow polyps. Crank the par up to around 150 and they’ll turn canary yellow. They’ll sting the tick out of other corals so keep them contained. If they don’t turn yellow it’s aptasia

Funny thing is, I bought it at "Petco"... for $10.00. So who knows, they are probably selling Aptasia Anenomes!
