It's an anemone? It's got several stems.

But I don't know jack about anemones though..so..yeah, are you sure?

Anyone know the type of polyps?

Not an anemone. I can't really tell with this picture, but it looks like a Euphyllia of some sorts. The second picture is of some Zoanthids.

I'm going to vote for a Galaxia sp. on the first shot and go with the Zoanthid i.d. on the other.
