What are these?!

[Cment]

Havent added anything to the tank in well over six months and just noticed these little flower looking things on the rocks. Would love if someone knew what they were. They are about half the size of a zoa and look to be transparent. Thoughts?

Kinda look like clove polyps. Got any pictures with just whites on?

Could be aptasia (sp)
King of hard to really good a good look at it. They hide low to the rock with lights on, but feed/extend at night.

I don’t think these are aptasia...I’ve battle those before and are really familiar. These things are tiny, like smaller than zoas, and don’t extend in any way. I was almost thinking some type of hydroid.

I have seen something similar in a white and pinkish shade. Often they withdraw themselves into the rock almost like a feather duster/filter feeder. Far as I know harmless like most
