UCO - unidetified coral object

This stuff has been growing on my LR for about two months now. The polyps are under 1/4" each and are seperate from each other. For reference, the biggest mushroom in the pic is about 1" in diameter. Pic with a Finepix 3800, f2.8, macro on.

i forgot what they're called, but it looks like clove or glove polyps. i cant remember which one. Either that or red sea xenia.

Looks like clove polyps......

Thanx guys, I'll do some searching on clove polyps and see if it's a winner.

I think that is correct. Although most images I saw have a lot taller stalks, the polyp head is a dead ringer.
