I ordered a couple of shrimp and they sent me this as a bonus I'll it said on the bag was that this was a free small cluster!
I have know idea what it is.
It is about two inches long by maybe one inch wide at first it kind of looks like some kind of anemone but the tops of it it kind of look like very small feather dusters when they are pulled inside not hanging out although I think one was out and it looked like a very small feather duster.the tube looks like a anemone.
there are maybe twenty of these tubes(very tiny).
The color is kind of army green with some grey in it.

Zoas/Zoanthids, Given the proper lighting conditions they should start to open withing 24-48 hours. Always fun to get a bonus. Interesting to see what coloring you have their.

you don't need strong lighting for them but you need better than standard florescent. if you have a reef safe star then you'll be fine but if you don't you might have to take either the star or (if its a zoo) the zoo out of the tank.
i have zoas in a 75g with only 130w 50/50 power compact
