I found these growing on a live rock I bought from Florida. The tentacles seem to fully extend at night; they are slightly retracted during the day. Very long tentacles, like a torch coral, but translucent and speckled. They are very fast feeders, like anemone-fast. They appear to be branching, but the branching is so short, it is basically encrusting.

Been wondering what these might be for the past year or so. Any speculation welcome.
