What is this?

I have this little thing spreading in dark areas of my tank. They grow very slow.
It looks very much like a sun coral, but brighter in color.
When they are small, the skeleton is very easy to break off. It's shaped like a small bowl, with a small point of contact. When they get bigger it turns into a tube.
They form small colonies.

Small one




Bigger, and with small "tube"

Any ideas?

Dendrophyllia I believe.

Yup. Non-photosynthetic and needs to be fed.

Thats the strange thing.. I've gone from one polyp to over 100 the past 3 years - without feeding.
But i do have a lot of pods.
