group of these on my live rock. seem to share the same base. my other experience with aiptasia had them growing separately from each other?
Not to mention they are white

by "share the same base" i mean much like the way GSP form, that purple base sprouting individual heads. but in this case everything is white

an ID, good or bad?

No idea what it is but it's definitely not Aiptasia.

I vote xenia/clove polyps.

the top has feather like structure so i am leaning towards xenia. I guess I will let it grow and see what happens. Retracts when the lights go off (they just did).

On a side note as I was looking at it with a flashlight I saw a small crab in my live rock I never saw before. That might be a problem.
