I am new to the saltwater scene and new this forum. My new tank is now 5 weeks old and I just added my first piece of coral (button polyp). In order to get the look that I wanted I move some of my lives rock around and to my surprise I noticed this on the back of one of the rocks. Wondering if I got a bonus coral or is this something bad?

The pic is not clear enough for me to be 100% but my three guesses are 1) closed polyp (could be a zoa or paly) 2) Hard cone snail (i think thats the name?) 3) sea slug. My money is on a closed polyp though.

Looks like a button polyp that's been out of light for a while.

peanut worm or Vermetid snail is my guess

Are they hard or soft?

They look like some sort of polyp to me as well.

They are tough to the tough, they are definitely coral for sure. I will try and take a pic of a different angle when my lights kick on. I appreciate the info thus far.

While they don't appear to be bright green, Neomeris could be another possibility as well.

Look at images for snake polyps.

That is the most resemblance I've seen thus far. Thanks for the help.
