It's really hard to tell with the lighting, but it kind of looks like closed up green star polyps or closed zoanthids. If you could provide a better picture it'd be easier to tell.

picture under whites would help... initial inspection/guess would say this is a possible pipe organ coral.

+1 on toadstool.
They are quite hardy and can tolerate various levels of light and flow fairly well.
They seem to do best in low-moderate light and low-moderate flow. They prefer nutrient rich water and will grow quite quickly.
Don't be alarmed if they retract for several days, either during acclimation or anytime thereafter. Toadstools shed and the process can take several days. This is normal.
Hope this helps.
