looks like tentacles like a galaxia or something, there also seems to be a green center with mouth under blue lights. Growing on the side of my new brain coral.

Looks like it is another mouth. It is getting bigger and easier to tell what it is now.

like @KJ say it's Ball anemones., the tentacles are very sticky if you touch them with something.
It look for sometime ago they become more popular in the DT introduced with new corals from the wild.
I have few of them on few separate rocks with new corrals. It's reef safe (or my one are).

No, tentacles are exactly like the corals feeders. It has a pronounced mouth now and same flesh as the coral around it. I looked up ball anemone and it does not look the same.

Dude check this one (I do have the same looking anemone), check the photos I post (Large and macro, compare it and tell please, I'm curiouse to get what do you have, as I can't see it better on the photos in your post, probably more white, less blue light and take the shot ? and can you turn on only uv/blue over it, to see are the balls like fluorescent any color ? They can be green, orange and blue as I know.

What's the exact name of the coral @WARz ?

Not sure the exact name. Acanthastrea pachysepta or a orange Lobophyllias, not sure.

i have the some thing similiar coming out of my orange lobo at the base. After a while it began to send out long curly extensions and i had my LFS take a look. Still can't be sure but we both think its a small feather duster. I haven't seen it extend in about a week now so i think it may have died.
