Hard to tell, I am guessing some sort of hitch hiking anemone.

I think Bj is awful close.Looks like it could be a rock anemone.

it also looks like you have some aiptasia growing there, I would work on killing them ASAP

I believe those are yellow polyps Hannah.Judging from the picture.

Could be, I wasnt really sure but I figured I would at least get him thinking about it.

But if it was me, id kill them if they were yellow polys. I think they look really creepy, and they might be the one coral I actually hate.....

I say rock anemone as well.

It's a rock anemone. Try giving it squirt of some frozen food.Their actually pretty cool critters.

I agree on rock anem, it looks simular to the temperate water one's you see in tide pools here in the northwest.

i had something almost identical on a piece of liverock...it was white-ish---kept it around for a while(it was shaded much like the thing you have) i brought it slowly out to the light ...it turned into a mushroom--just my 2 cents
