Small polyped coral needing ID/pics +2 Hitchhiker bonus!
I bought a rock covered in these little coral polyps. The LFS owner said that he ordered them thinking they were sunflower coral. I have looked at many a sunflower coral picture on the internet but have yet to find any that look like what I have. Anyone know what they are?
Here is a top view, I believe you can see 2 other hitchhikers. The hitchhikers fluoresce under attinic lighting. I believe this is some sort of anemone as it shrinks when startled or the light changes, but i could be wrong. Is it good or bad? Here is a side picture of them.

Blue clavularia (clove) polyps and I really can't see enough detail in the other pic to say what it is.

That blue coral appears to me to be encrusting goniopora. A clearer photo of the other one would help.

Pic #2 looks like a feather duster to me. Pic is blurry though, my blue clove's came with feather dusters on them.
