These randomly showed up in our tank a few weeks ago. Any idea what they are?

Aiptasia

Welcome to R2R

They are invasive and sting corals. They can spread like crazy. Looks like they are in some tight nooks and crannies. Various ways to deal with them but don't wait too long.
 
Aptasia. Get some peppermint shrimp. I also inject vinegar in them. Thats extremely effective but you have to stay on top of it.
 
Yes aiptasia. Peppermint shrimp and anti aiptasia additives to kill them. Get rid of them as soon as possible
 
Thank you all for the information! I found an aiptasia treatment and the ones that were there are gone. Going to monitor and use it if I see more pop up ☺️
