Anyone know what this is?

At first glace, a colony of aiptasia. If not, perhaps hydroids. Yellow polyps also came to mind. GL.

It looks like a small start of a gorgonian to me, something similar to Eunicea maybe.

Me too.

Check yellow polyps

 

[MARINECRITTERS]

All of the above are possible, are they growing from a fleshy stalk?, or are they growing from a rock?

The tan encrusting under the polyps tell me gorgonian.

 

[Imjustgud]

It has a calcified base with the dark yellow stalk and fingers. I appreciate everyone's help.

For those of you who have said gorgonian, can you give me an example? (similar picture)

Couldn't find that perticular coral but I kinda think of this

Hmmm... I've had star polyps that had a white center like that though. They weren't sold to me as a gorgonian though. Maybe it was misidentification.

I had them in a ten gallon mantis tank a bunch of years back. They take over like star polyps but are a little different up close.

 

[MARINECRITTERS]

A picture of them closed up will help.

At the end of the slipper coral, maybe 2" up.



I don't think these are a gorgonian. Similar, but different IMO.

In your pic I see a more defined eye at the center. A better pic on both sides may show something more. If you see in my pic, there really isn't a eye, just a center where it all meets.

What? :beer:

Can we both agree that the OP's picture is nothing like ours?

 

[Misled]

I thought we were posed to argue till the OP said stop!!! :lol:

Getting an I.D. from an out of focus pic is usually tough.
