Help ID new growths...

MermaidTail · Nov 26, 2016

Ive noticed about four of these little (tiny) new growths, but they don't seem to be going away, only growing and I was hoping for an ID. I know the pic is blurry, but look inside the white circles I drew to highlight. They look, honestly, like little dendros with a base (that is pinkish-yellow in color) and tentacle type polyps that are a yellow/clear/white color...I have a sun coral, but not sure that's how they spread?

Any thoughts?

They could be a type of ball anemone.

Are those bad news?

Depends I guess. Personally I like the way they look and have had a few in my sump for a while now. I have heard of them spreading and becoming a nuisance though I've never personally seen it. Mine seem to be thriving in almost no light. Maybe someone with more expertise will chime in or you could do a little research on them.
