whats that on my live rock?

[mistya55]

I got a live rock the other day that is just full of life. The main things I am wondering about is the big white cluster on the clam shell and the very small purple thing coming out from it. I posted a photo below. Thanks for any help. By the way it is carribbean live rock.

It will probably be easier to tell when the polyps open. I am assuming those are unopened polyps maybe palys. I'm not sure on the other.

It has little clear tentacles that come out to feed. Thats all I have noticed so far. The little purple thing has nothing so I don't know if its living or not.

If there are clear tentacles, then I don't think it is palys. Maybe someone else will know what it is.

Its also firm, not like palys or zoas. Dont know if that helps.
