Hi there!

What are these little daisy looking polyps? They stand straight up. I would just put the picture in here but I don't have time to resize the image:

I think you got it right already - daisy polyps.

I think you got it right already - daisy polyps.

Well, I thought that too because of their uncanny daisy appearance, but they have no frilly bits or anything that look slike any daisy polyp I can find online or in books. They do not appear to be attached to each other either. Any other ideas?

Look like regular old clove polyps to me - I think the latin genus is Clavuria. I have a small colony in my tank - let me snap a pic and see if it matches yours.
