they are the brown round things in the middle of pic. sorry the pic isn't that great.

they look like zoas with a mouth in the middle but they have clear tentacles around the outer edge.

thanks

From the bulbous tentacles I'd say they are a species of Anemonia most likely Anemonia majano. Can you get a clearer picture to be sure?

Agree with David and answered at CF as well.

Hmmm. I'm not seeing bulbs in the tentacles. I see white tips at the ends of them, but that could be lighting.

My first thought was a Pseudocorynactis sp. but I think we need a better pic

Dumb question...do these have a hard skeleton underneath the polyp? Try waving your hand near them to make them retract, or just touch them.

Maybe I'm nuts but these just don't look like majanos to me.

after doing some research on the web I don't think they are Anemonia majano's. not saying that they aren't but didn't find any that look like mine. I will try to get a better pic for you.

Following up on Matt's question: I think they look like cup coral (they need a small stub of hard skeleton to qualify though).
