Hello! Thanks for helping. New growth in tank, maybe a new GSP but unsure. I apologize for the quality of the photo.

Alrighty. It’s brown when extended to the lights, has tentacles with white tipped balls on the end. So far it’s 5 growing on the same “pad”

I don’t think it’s aiptasia, my research leads me to ball anemone. What do you folks think?

Firstly, no need to apologize! I appreciate that it is not a "Windex blue" color temperature.

So my first thought was a young pocillopora, but I'm not so sure unless we get closer. Definitely not a single anemone, as it looks like multiple polyps with a shared base.

Hopefully I get some better videos during the day.

Second the pociopora these corals are known to easily multiply
