    Look like some sort of zoa or paly, they may color up as it appears that they have been in low light for a while.

    I'm sure you realize it, but you have some bad GHA, check you nitrate and phosphate levels and cut back on feedings.

    plus aptasia. how big is your tank, might consider a tang also for the algea and then turn your light schedule down a bit in addition to the above suggestions.

    me too.

    Emerald crabs are much safer. Sally lightfoots get big and carnivorous. Plus they are fast as all getout.

    As far as the polyps, it is hard to say what they will turn out to be, if anything different than dull brown polyps. Good luck, you never know, they could actually end up being a nice colored zoanthid or paly.
