About 3/8 inch long total. The polyps are about 1/8 in diameter atop the red semi-transparent stalks. Dont seem to need much light. Current lighting they are under is quite dim (18W PC).

Not the button Polyps now Gilley, They look like anemones a little but Im speaking of the smaller guys on long stems.
 
If you startle them, what happens? Do the polyps retract into tubes quicky, or curl up like a coral?
 
Think you may be right about pipe organ coral.

Image google turns up some similar.

Thanks for all the input. I can see them a litle better in real life so here's some observations of mine per the suggested ID's
In this thread and from others on the net...
Folks have suggested...

Clove Polyps: Not a feathery as Cloves
Anemone types: I think folks might be looking at the closed and semi-closed zoa's(button polyps)
Pipe Organ: Lack the bulbous fleshy section at the tip just under the polyps.

they look cool and if they have color, may color up under higher lighting. if they aren't bad and you want to give em away i'll take some to see how they do under my T5s. I'm always looking for something weird.
 
Got them under more light now, Moved to a newly set up 24 gal.

Have we got a newly found Species here maybe? I wanta name them! LOL
 
Update: Seems they are Clove Polyps. Appear to have a blue hue to them compared to others I have. Ive never seen them that small before. I learned something
