They sort of look like polyps which fluoresce green under blue light. In the video and photo, I’ve extracted using a feeding tube and placed in a 100ml plastic cup. The cup is resting on top of the d-d jump guard pro mesh lid which has 8mm x 8mm grid size to give some sense of scale.

Tank is a Fluval evo 52L nano.

Photos below of wider shot of tank and mid shot for context of where I found them.

I’ve seen posts elsewhere suggesting it might be from their hammer coral. I have the green octospawn close by with white tips - this does have aiptasia so potentially a stress response?

Yeah, probably a polyp from some euphyllia it ejected. Can't see the photo btw.
 
Not seeing a video or photo

Editing as photos and videos didn't upload from the app.
