Small anemones or two corals?

[cnreef]

I just noticed these little guys today. I'm wondering if they are some sort of anemone or maybe a small cup coral or other type of coral? Here are videos of the two I found today...

Thanks for any help!


P.S. Is there an ID forum somewhere in the reefcentral forums? I haven't been as to find one...

Maybe an octopus anemone?? No idea but very cool!

looks like aiptasia to me but could be wrong

95% sure it's not aiptasia, I just killed some and it looked nothing like it lol

Kind of looks like hidden cup coral, if you touch the tentacles does it retreat into a calcified base?

the second one looks like aiptasia. the first looks cool idk what it is though. hopefully not a problem

Yeah they both did, so I'll assume they are little corals

Close up does it look like this? If so then hidden cup coral.
