Not sure what this is. It started growing a couple of months ago from a rock that has been in my tank for about 7 months. It finally has gotten big enough for me to get a decent picture of. I'm thinking Birds Nest but not sure. The larger one is about the size of a pencil eraser.

At night does it have long sweeping tentacles? If so be careful how close it gets within other corals. They tend to not get along with SPS.

I have not seen any sweepers coming off it at night and it's next to some zoas but I haven't seen either coral react to the other.

Very cool! I have it under t5s and it seems to like the light just fine. Will the zoas next to it bother it? Or can it hold it's own against them.

I think the pocci will hold it's own . If anything might sting the zoas. If you see anythin just clip it off and out it somewhere to mgrow out. Keep us updated please! Love pop up things lol.
