The stuff on top? Look like star polyps to me. They appear to be growing on a "base" which has peeled off...which is part of why I would say star polyps. But I may be missine what you are actually talking about.

 

[ladylinn]

I thought they were featherdusters or aiptasia? cant tell the differmce

Check out the hitch hiker thread in the archive. You'll find pictures of both feather dusters and aiptasia. I'm with Ophiura, they do look like star polyps or something related.

Are they growing in like a vein like structure? or are they individual polyps?

 

[ladylinn]

they look like individuals. But they dissappear and then come back. I have an emperor angel hippo tang yellow tang a rainbow wrasse
