Mysterious tiny Yellow Polyps

These strange organisms have started spreading rapidly...they look like the common yellow polyps sold everywhere but are 1/10th the size...very tiny. And they retract into tubes like feather dusters. However, they seem to potentially be irritating corals next to them so I think they may have stinging cells and are not worms. Any assistance would be appreciated. thanks

If they are bothering the neighbors then I would say colonial hydroids.
