Is this a Palythoa/Protopalythoa or more along the lines of a Rock Flower anemone? Thanks. :)

never seen these before i'm interested to hear what they are - my guess Palythoa/Protopalythoa
 
Looks more like a rock anemone/flower. Does it have paly look too it as it closes up. Or does it kinda shrivel up?
 
You know what I'm not sure. This is somebody else's picture and were all kind of stumped. The shape is similar, but they don't look like Protopalythoas or Palythoas to me.
 
They look more like anemones tbh. Lucky they look like rock/flower ones instead of a pest one. Best thing to do. Put up a pic of then closed up.
 
Judging by the picture it look like a flower anemone.
 
I need a different image. If they're palys than the stalk should have what appears to be grains of sand embedded into the stalk. Do they move or are they stationary?
