Hey, This is my first post on Reef Central, I was just wondering if anyone can ID the "thing" on a piece of live rock I purchased today(If I can properly post a picture that is :P) . There is about 4 all together that I can see. Thanks guys!

Might be a porites coral.

I had a couple Aiptasia on the rocks, this looked different so I was not really sure. Thanks for the reply

Does it retract in to a skeleton when you fool with it? Look up single polyps of cup coral. Here you go: http://www.starthrower.org/products/DDDB/DDDB_000-049/DDDB_019%20cup%20corals.htm Or, it could be a bleached out anemone.

Looks like a bleached majano anemone. Considered to be a pest.

When I mess with it it retracts but doesnt look like the cup coral, it just retracts and leaves long string looking things hanging out. Thank you guys for the replys!
