I think I like this one as Discosoma sanctithomae. Rounded tips on the non inflated tentacles.
Any pictures of it not bubbled out? I just noticed the speckling on the bubble which could mean compound tentacles which would make me lean more towards a Rhodactis sp.

@Labridaedicted if you look closely you see babies. Looks like yumas with big bubble. They all mature into what you see above and never fully deflate. I added some other pictures. I've just never seen anything bubble like this before.

yes looks like ricordea. I've seen them with larger bubbles. It also seems that some will do that under dirtier tank conditions as well, not saying that your is, just that they have been known to sometimes get bubbles in heavy nutrient tanks.

Riccordea bouncing. Mines bounced for months and then deflated. now they're starting to bounce again.

Yup, with these pictures it is Ricordia. Several other species can get the "bubble" effect including some Rhodactis sp, as well as a couple of Discosoma
Do the bumps go all the way onto the mouth or stop around the mouth? If it continues onto the mouth, it is yuma. If they stops in a nice ring around the mouth, they are R. Florida.
Looks like yuma from what I can see in the picture of the smaller ones.
