wierdo polyps

Any idea what these are? Orange things to the left center of the zoas.  Each has one or more clear tentacles coming out of the polyp near-center.

Kind of look like tiny plates. Is that a plate skeleton the zoas are attached to?( It’s hard to see for sure in the pic.)—Baby plates can regrow on a dead skeleton.

Its an old old piece of shell that I've had for years.  I do have a plate coral in the tank, but its a green slipper coral, not anything that resembles these.  They are hard (I poked), and sorta resemble my orange lepto.  I have several lepto varieties and an orange pavona, all of which are doing well, but this is far away from those and the shape would imply sexual reproduction ?!?! IDK what other conclusion to draw....I haven't put anything new into the tank in almost a year

Could be sexual reproduction.

 

I had a styllo in one spot and before it died from dino's I found 2 other places in my tank with it growing there.
