Hey everyone, I was looking at my tank last night and I noticed the very small yellow polyps on my LR, they are everywhere (mostly under overhangs). Could these be baby suncorals?? Here are a few pictures, I don't have a zoom on my camara so the pictures aren't very good.

Its hard to tell, but I think sun corals all but need to be target fed to survive, if that is the case I would tend to think not, like they wouldnt be able to survive popping up in random places, but I could be totally wrong.
 
The sun coral I have is just like yours and the babies are surrounding the mother colony. I have found a baby at the bottom of the tank but you could tell it looked just like a polyp from the mom. It didn't last long there. Yours could be yellow sponges? Sponges come in all kinds of colors, shapes, and sizes. But if I am wrong keep us posted with pics of how they are growing.
