Cup coral?

[silverbandit]

From all the research I've done so far, it seems this is some type of cup coral...anyone have a clue? These are the polyps I could get with the camera. On the rear of the same live rock, there is another group with a polyp so large it ate my bangaii cardinal! They seem to be doing well so far, and I've been target feeding them 2x a week. Any recommendations or guesses as to a specific ID? Thanks!

Guy, they look like juvenile anenomes embedded in algae to me!

could they be curley q anemonies? I've never seen them clear like that though.

The tiny white dots on the tentacles and the larger white bulb on the end led me to my guess. I can also see a calcareous skeleton in the first pic.

You are right about the calcareous skeleton Guy. When I first added that hunk of rock to the tank I figured whatever had been there originally had died off. Two weeks later, I come in to work and there they are. So am I correct in assuming this is only freom th tropical atlantic? I'm only wondering because it's supposed to be indo-pacific. Any recommendations on care? I've been feeding them thawed-out marine carnivore cubes twice a week, which they accept readily. Thanks everyone!
