New cool thing found in my tank

[Joseph]

Okay... New Question:

I was looking in my tank today (as I do everyday), and I've noticed
some sort of organism I haven't seen before. I think I haven't
noticed it because it's on a piece of the live rock I just rearranged.

It looks like a tunical (I think it;s what they are called)... It's a
mass of translucent tubes about 1/2 - 1 millimeter in diameter.

Any guesses? Is more information needed?

Thanks

Joseph

Sounds like it might be a tunicate colony. Usually a tunicate looks like a
sack with two round openings. Some are hard to tell from sponges. One way
to tell is that tunicates can move when something touches them.

Do they look something like this?

Actually, no. They don't look anything like that. Thank you for the
help though. I'm going to look online for a picture of it...

There is another new organism that I have discovered that is
completely different...
