I am sorry I dont have a picture, but it in a location to where I cant get a picture.
I have two of them, they seem to open at night and have between 12 - 15 tentacles. The tentacles are clear(transluescent) with solid tips, like white or a light shade of yellow. They close when I turn the lights on and look like little bulbs or tiny stumps. The stumps are purple but that may be from coraline algae.
Please help, sorry about picture

If that is them they are a type of mushroom coral. Common hitch-hikers, nocturnal, no special care required...
called Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum
They come in white ball corallimorphs (as shown) and orangeball and most likely yellow also.
