This is my first coral. I got these 3 polyps on accident with my live rock about 6 months ago. They've doubled in size, although they're still tiny(right of the center polyp you'll see a small anthropod). I'm assuming this is an lps coral, but I'd like to know a little more than that. They tolerate some fairly intense light and for flow, they only seem to open up in low to no flow.
 
Are you sure they are a coral? Do they have a stony base that they recede into when touched? Poke them with a chop stick and see what happens. They look more like rock flower anemones to me than any LPS coral I'm aware of.
 
Look like rock flowers to me also. I had a few that were like that and are now over 2 inches in size and very colorful
