Small creature found on live rock

[RedFrog211]

My tank is currently fish-less due to ich and going through a phase of dinos (talk about struggling.) today I noticed a small green creature on the live rock. Thinking it was a nudibranch, I captured it with a pipette. Upon further examination, I realized I had no idea what it was. I found another one, and set them side by side (one open, and one closed) any idea? It almost looks like some kind of polyp. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Looks like a pipe organ coral polyp to me

I agree, but it has no calcified base- I do have GSP in the tank, but no pipe organ to my knowledge. Can a polyp survive free floating like that?

Any motion? They look like possibly mini brittle stars.

Yep! The tendrils move- can brittle stars be that color?

After second look they look more like a coral polyp of some sort.

My friend is in agreeance with alyamaha and thinks it’s pipe organ. The only thing confusing me is the lack of a central stalk or calcified base
