Can't even really describe it but in the last hour they have turned side ways.

Seems like there trying to reach to another rock and looks like some kind of soft looking shell

Sorry I can't explain more but I have no idea what it could even be.

Can anyone help describe it?

One turned to the side when the moonlights went on so its defo alive!
 
Hard to tell by the pics, but nidibranches possibly? A had some attacking my zoas before I noticed them. Sucked them out with a turkey baster and shot them in the toilet. All is good now.
 
All the zoas seem ok.
Not seen any loses but these look more like some kind of plate. There look flat and have weird edges to them :/
 
I've jus been on critter Id and can't find anything that even looks like it.

What ever they are, one of them is now off the rock and slowly on the move....
 
realy blurry pics, but look up "bubble shell" it might be a speies of them...
-do they move at all??
 
Sorry pics are blurry it's only an iPhone and zoomed in.

I searched bubble shell and nothing looked familiar.

Chitons are a type of mollusc that is found on liverock. They have eight protective hard plates that provide good protection from predators. They feed on algae, bryozoans, diatoms and sometimes bacteria.
 
Kinda looks like that only I don't see them things on its back, look more clear and it's back is pointy on the ones in my tank.

But the edges of that chiton do look abit like the ones in my tank. A baby chiton maybe?
 
It's move behind my rock I'm hoping it comes out so I can get a better pic but it's moving very very slowly.
