Hi, What are these little guys? I was worried they were aiptasia but these have fuzzy tentacles. They are surrounding my zoas...

They look kind of like star polyps IMO. (Briareum sp.) Are they growing from a mat? If so they could eventually grow over your zoanthids.

Agreed with star polyps.

Sorry I'm a newbie - I'm not sure what is meant by growing from a mat? They are growing around pretty much the entire rock just below the zoas. The previous owner did have pulsing xenia but lost a bunch of corals during a 4 day power outage a couple of years ago and hasn't had them/or at least seen them since. Is that a possibility? She also mentioned that she used to have a pipe organ coral...
