I am new to the saltwater world. My 9 yr old son wanted a saltwater tank for Xmas, so he got one. We are both excited to learn together. I received some live rock from someone who is downsizing. I found this (pictured below) on a rock and have no idea what it is. The pic is pretty clear, but fyi...it's about 1 1/2" tall and has a cream colored trunk. The top spreads like a tree with a bunch of (I believe to be) polyps. Now that I've updated the lighting, some polyps have 6 tentacles each which are brought green at the tips.
Any info on these would be great. It looks really cool and promising, but I want to make sure it's something to keep and enjoy.

Thank you,

Ryan and Ashton

Hello looks like cloves or some type of star polyps to me.
 
Thank you nova65ss.. I'm clueless. Lol this gives me a good reference point to try to do more research.
