Bought these when they were small as mushrooms. As they have grown, they are behaving more like anemones. They move around and I believe one took out a small flower anemone. They draw in when irritated. I'm thinking some kind of Carpet. Any ID help is appreciated. The first pic is one when happy second pic is one that's irritated

I think it's a hairy mushroom. I don't think anemones get forked/branching tentacles like that. If it is a hairy shroom, I think they get very large.
 
It is a mushroom. I would kill the **** thing as they will take over your tank killing everything they come in contact with. Ask me how I know this. However with that said they are VERY resilient
 
Rhodactis sp., for sure. Nice ones too.

And yes, the "corals" we call mushrooms are actually not really corals but more closely related to anemones.

If my memory serves, they are Cnidaria.
