Phyllangia?
I've got something on a piece of rock that has been growing for six months or more, and is multiplying. Might be different that your stuff, since it seems to be single polyps instead of a colony like yours, even though they are multiplying. Anyway, p. 321 of Borneman's Coral book is the genus Phyllangia. Can this be it?

Looks like a tag on Gruv's corals, Cladecora, but I'm not so sure about mine. They are more solitary, and all the pictures of Cladecora show quite shorttentacles. Think that is what mine are too?
