Look like little fans.

Little fans but they seem to have a body. If its a type of aptasia they have spread just grown slightly over the past three months.

Hi,

Well it isn't aptasia, it might be a crop of xenia starting to grow, time will tell what kind of coral it is when it gets a little bigger...It's pretty.

They are pretty cool and I thought Xenia as well. Just not the same structure as what I'm used to. Hopefully they do not irritate the coral

The look more like Anthelia to me, or maybe Clavularia.

+1 on Anthelia.

Looks like it from some photos I just saw online. How different is that from xenias?

I think the base is different...Xenia has a longer body before you see the little flowers/hands, while these seem to be flush with the rock. That's why I said time would tell because I couldn't see the body of the coral.

They're pretty much like most polyp-type corals...if they like your tank, they'll multiply. They don't "pulse" or otherwise move (other than to open and close), but they're pretty.

As long as they do not irritate the other coral.
