What's this?


Can anyone identify this organism that's in front of the snail? It doesn't move, is soft to the touch, and has a few smaller friends just like it hanging out on the small piece of live rock I have. Thanks!

If I give a bump, can I get a free guess?
If those are little holes in its 'skin', maybe a sponge or a tunicate(sea squirt).

We have tons scattered in our tank, clear, white, light & dark pink, purple,dark purple, black... No worrys yet.
check out this to see if anything matches:

sorry, I was hoping someone who knows what they're talking about would get you a better answer.

looks like a closed up isaurus tuberculatus, snake polyps, but they do extend, but that is the way they look out of the water. who knows, where is the mod

Wow, that would be neat. I've never seen them do anything but sit there and get a little bigger over time. Maybe they are just plain tunicates.
