    They look like pretty yellow polyps... But I could be mistaken. Are they stiff or do they sway in the current?
    No peanut gallery remarks 8) Is this a close up picture? What is their approximate diameter?

    Then that's what they probably are. "Yellow polyps" Does anyone else have a diferent opinion??
    You got a real good price. They look healthy too.

    Yeah I am glad they are yellow polyps.i was getting a little worried that it was Aiptasia,because these polyps multiply fairly quickly.i bought them about 2 months ago,there was 11 of them,now there is about 30 of them

    I could send you one or 2 but have no idea how the ship
    sea creatures.all i would do is place a shell near one and wait for it to multiply and with these it dont take long.
