They are typically call "Sand Polyps", which could either mean Zoanthids or those depending on the vendor.
I am 99% sure Clavularia is the family they belong to.
NOT Pachyclavularia - The star polyp family.
It could be as simple as splitting hairs as some people see it but the fact that the do not grow in a mat pretty much tells you that they are not Pachyclavularia.
i think your confused bud or letmegrow check out the difference between sand polyps, glove polyps, and starburst polyps, and the pic of my star polyps they are like the starburst polyps.
The clavularia sp. in your picture come in different colors, they all have mute colors tho, nothing exciting. I have seen Burnt Orange, Purple, Pink, and various shades of "red".
pachyclavularia is what they are copy my pic and zoom in look at, they are not as you postedClavularia ARE "Glove" and "Clove" corals. look at last link i posted clove and glove polyps on each tentacles are frilly on the polyps i have each tentacle on a polyp is a straight tentacle with nothing else on it.
