Colonial anemones
Order Zoanthidea

Sometimes confused with coral, colonial anemones are common on the coral rubble. They may cover the rubble in a mat. (Each polyp about 1cm across)

Other small creatures might live among the zoanthid polyps. Tiiny red sea cucumbers were seen among these blue-centred polyps.
