Tiny polyps behind clavularia

[Wima1988]

I bought some nice clavularia 2 days ago. They are open and seem to be doing great. But do you have an idea what are those small things behind them? They are really tiny, about 1mm diameter. I hope the Image is good enough and that im in the right forum.
Thank you very much in advance!

Sort of looks like an encrusting montipora or something similar trying to get more light.

Agreed some sort of sps.

Polyps mean the animal is still alive. It’s only dead when there’s all skeleton and no tissue

Cool! And i guess you are right. When the light is off less polyps are visible. So there must be life in them. Lets see if it grows
