Hi was looking at the back of my rock today and found this strange thing growing on a small piece of rock . So with a lot of effort i managed to get it out. Seems to have 2 mouths that open and close

Iv left it in my tank just incase its a good thing to have and incase any one wants more pics.

Looks like a tunicate, filter feeders, they are good guys.

If it is is it best to put it back out of the light

The ones that have popped up in my tank seem to prefer indirect light. You could try putting it where you found it originally but I wouldn't mess with it too much.

Flow will be more important as Tunicates are not photosynthetic. An area of mod to higher flow would probably be beneficial. If not the Tunicate will close up it's siphons if the flow is too much.

Seems happy only closing up when the fish play with it
