Hey so I have a couple yellow finger Sea fans and I just started noticing these little aptasia looking critters, I and having trouble because they look like the polyps of the Sea fans, I’ll attach a few photos but it’s extremely difficult to actually see what I’m talking about, it looks like the flowers but I’m assuming it’s aptasia, if it is how do I get rid of that without bombing my reef?

Blurry pictures but it looks like each 'tentacle' has small branches coming off the side-if so, not aiptasia.

not aptasia but as mentioned- pics blurry. Can be sea cucumber (see below) or clove polys
