That would be cool but looks like anemones (bead?) to me. If xenia is stressed by stinging I've seen tiny polyps like that nearby byt that's just a guess here.

Today they tiny little tentacles were extended more than yesterday. Let me see if I can get a picture now

Pictures are too blue to get much detail. Forgot to mention yesterday to figure out if it's a soft coral or stony coral count the tenticles, soft corals have a base 8 tenticle system and stony corals have a base 6 system. (So if they've got 24 you'll just have to guess

)
