ID please - tiny white anemone?

[123lac]

Hey everyone, hoping to get an ID on these little anemone-like things in my 5 gallon.

They retract when touched.

These are very close-up shots, I'd say they are smaller than the size of a pin head, or similar in size to pineapple sponges:

I would be inclined to say they are actually bleached out protopalythoa polyps.

I'd have to agree, thats what they look like to me...

Thank you.

I've googled these and the images that come up appear quite large to my eye, while the ones in my tank are teeny tiny, perhaps 2mm in diameter.

I'll keep an eye on them and see if they colour up at all.

Please follow up on this thread and let us know how they develop!
