Default ID help needed! button polyps

Hi everyone,

I have these strange button polyps growing, have no idea what they are... can someone help me out by identifying them? They came on a live rock.

They're just kind of ugly, and eat like pigs.

Just look like a generic speckled green paly to me. Careful with those things, if your new to the hobby you might want to look into palytoxins. Pretty serious stuff. And the greens are some of the worst. Id remove them from the rock before they spread as they will do it very quickly. When removing them make sure you have no cuts on your hands (or just wear gloves)

Deff not dragon eyes and not orange oxides or bam bams. Dragon eyes are green and have a slit.
