    Even zoomed in I can't make them out. Maybe pineapple sponges from the vague shape I can see.

    Sorry for a not so good pic. It let's me zoom in on the computer n camera but won't save it zoomed in. I havnt seen what a pineapple sponge looks like, actually I don't think I've heard of em before. These things look like super small purpleish feather dusters but they sway in the current.

    thanks for the help so far. i dont think its pineapple sponges from what i looked up. heres 2 more pics, little fuzzy but kinda shows better. Also the one on the top has moved down the rock a little, about an inch or so. i dont know if it fell or if it actually moved.

    Look up aiptasia and hydroids. Featherdusters don't move.
