They are zoanthids. The most common names for it a Tangerine dreams or tangerine flares. Sometimes they are mistaken for Orange bandits. I'm pretty sure that's what they are. Krazie

These are more on the red scale than orange. Picture makes them more washed out.

Might be bam bams but without a picture that is close to true colors it will be very hard to tell. Krazie

I'll keep that in mind. You just keep the silage covered up and out of your aquarium.

Just feed your skimmer nog to the cows. I bet it will boost milk production!
I'm still sticking with Tangerine dreams. Final Answer. Krazie

I'd like to change my final answer. :) After digging I think they are closer to the Orange Sun burst Zoanthids because they don't have the yellow mouth of the Tangerine Dreams. Here is a pic of the sun bursts and I think it matches yours.

My pictures are showing the mouths yellow or white. They are really a peach speckled color and no blue.
I cannot get the camera to display the right color.

That's true but the tangerine dreams have a solid orange ring around the mouth not speckled. Here is a picture of them for comparison.

None of the zoas have a uniform pattern around the mouth. Orange tentacles then a purple ring and base with a peach-pink speckled pattern around the mouth.

Here is another Orange sunburst photo that has less blue. It may just be differences in lighting causing the blue to be more or less prominent.

Why not ask the expert, Brandon Hill of http://Zoanthids.com" rel="nofollow - Zoanthids.com ? He is not far from you in Orem with a newly opened retail store front. (Well actually the store is at the side of his garage. ) See LFS page for details.
