I'm relatively new to the reef hobby and after I cycled the tank I've had a couple of clownfish and coral fragments for about a month.

There seem to be a couple of clear tubes with a solid dark colour around the tip. I've asked the LFS and they said it may be a new polyp growing but it seems quite higher than the surrounding polyps and growing out the middle of some when open so I'm worried about what it is as I can't find something similar online. There were larger ones previously there but disappeared (crab victim I assume) but a couple more showed up so below are a couple of photos:

Sorry about that. The coral closed up so I'm hoping it's a bit easier to see for you. If not, I'll try to get a different/better camera. It appears as though it's two tubes side by side.

No need to apologize, thank you very much for the response!

Given its location, it's hard to get a different angle but I'm hoping the below are better to see. If not I may have to try to get a better camera or find something to put behind it so the transparent tubes are easier to see.

I’m on an iPad and my tired old eyes couldn’t make it out in the OP’s picture. I had to look at my screen through my Flipper magnifying glass.
LOL!
I'm on my phone and could only make out a clear version of the thing on the mucinex commercial.
