Anyone Recognize this coral?

[rich1515]

Hey all,
I have had my tank up and running since June. Over the last two months this group has popped up and I can not tell what they are. If I were to try and describe them it would be this, they resemble a flower with a white dot in the middle of them. Obviously this is not a scientific explanation but take a look at the picture and let me know if you have it or have seen it before.
Thanks
-Eric

Star polyps gets my vote as well.

Cool. Thanks for the identification. They just popped up and I was a little suprised.

Looks exactly like the star polyps I have in my tank. Are they green at the tips when fully extended? Mine grow like a weed.

Icehy.
How did you get your webshots site as a live link to the bottom of your posts? I added mine (thanks for the idea) and it is not in a clickable format.

i think it looks more like a cleaner shrimp than a polyp...OH the coral sorry, that's a star polyp.

How about richordia, is it purple base, with little tubes coming out of a blanket for lack of a better description?

Do you have a flower pot gonopora in there? It looks like mine. My flower pot all of a sudden started growing on the substrate a few feet from the original. Just a thought. It happened to me.
