I have to agree, but what do they look like? I'm not convinced that they are button polyps. If they were all over the rock I could accept that they were, but there only in the nooks and crannys, leading me to believe that there not.

Thanks everyone for all the input.

Well they're certainly not button polyps. You can see that the "skirt" on them has two levels to it. Button polyps have all of the "fringe" coming out of the button at the same place. The fringe doesn't alternate up and down like that (if anyone knows what I mean).

I still vote for aiptasia but I'm not adverse to saying they could be something else. If you're liking them that much, keep an eye on them. If another one pops up in less than 2 weeks, well, just imagine how many weeks it will take to cover that rock...and the rock next to it...and the rock next to it

Can you get a photo with less blue (ie. turn off your actinics) or is that just the light you have?

Show off indeed, fantastic photo. However, do you ever notice that while the top skirt is reaching for the sky the bottom is laid flat? Seems odd.

Anyway, I wouldn't say they weren't palys, could very well be.
