Help with ID please.....good or bad

[AZINDY]

Okay I have seen a pic of these things before but I can't find it now. They came on a new frag of zoa I got last week, I'm just trying to find out if they are bad or not. I have circled the coral? in black that I'm talking about. Thanks for any and all info.
Now for the pics (sorry they aren't the best quality, but I tried LOL):

I'm sorry I can't tell from the pic - it kinda looks like a clove polyp but I really can't tell

How does it act? Is it always open like that, or does it close like a polyp? I don't know either, but that may help some of the experts out And another trick I've heard is that you can hold your camera out from the tank a bit and use a magnifying glass to get a better close up shot if you've got a magnifying glass on hand.

Yes it does open and close........

Thanks for the tip on how to get better pics, I'll have to try that this weekend.

I was told that it might be a daisy polyp, so I searched the net and found a few pics of daisy polyps that do look like what we have. So for now I think we will go with the daisy ID. Now from what I understand it shouldn't cause any problems in our tank, but if I'm wrong please tell me so I can remove it before its to late.

Thanks again for the help and info.

Daisy polyps are a type of clove polyp and are fine
