This polyp looking thing showed up on a new piece of live rock. I am not sure what it is and am hoping all you experts will know!

Thanks,
Nate

Great, thanks for the replies. Does this officially mean I have corals?

yes, and it also seems like you have an ample amount of coralline algae

congrats!
