Not Exactly sure what it is!


I have like a bundle of tube-looking things on this one part of my rock and has like 4 hair-like things coming out of each of them i will try to get a picture soon,

it had come on a piece of LR that i bought from someone on TRT, and thought it was dead cause it was out of the water for like 2 days or 3

I think that I have the same thing in my 30 gallon. They are white tubes with little hairs at the ends of them. I have a bunch of them on one rock and it looks like there are some on another rock. I can't get a pic of them, so I hope you can. I'm also wondering what they are.

Hmm, I guess it is a sponge but it sill looks like a tunicate to me. Odd thing about them is that they have only one pump hole.

Maybe it is a tunicate that is named Scypha sponge.
