Help with Identity


I have some type of small anemones growing. Yes, there is more than one. I have already excluded aiptasia and majano. Is there any other type?

I cannot get a picture because it is too small. It is mostly clear and has pinkish tips. The base is a little more brownish. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Are they fan worms? They kinda look like feather dusters? But they are connect to your rock.
