Mine are like a coral.  out during the day. reddish in color, does not look like aiptasia.   i'll see tonight after lights out.  i am thinking some kind of clove or star polyp, hopefully.

I have something similar but they only come out after dark so I thought they were tube worms?

You may be right, i see the heads above a kind of tube.  thanks, i like this more than aiptasia.!!

I'm still on the fence about it.  If i touch them with a chopstick they collapse into the tube.  In my experience with aiptasia, they sink completely into  a hole in the rock and don't have tubes.  These are red in color, my aiptasia  looked brown and had heads the size of zoas.   Different species?

I believe its SABELLIS  TILOSAULA  a minute type of feather duster worm.  Evidently harmless and a sign of good health in the reef.  The rock is isolated so I will keep watch on ot, nevertheless.
