Can anyone ID this?

can anyone ID this? Can’t get a good photo of it but it’s purplish black. Lots of “holes” and when I blow some water on it from a turkey Baster it looks like it closes up.

Hmm. This one is hard to tell. Is it soft or harder when you touch it?

My guess, from what you describe is Tunicates....... They “react” when disturbed.

I just looked it up and it doesn’t look like the same structure? Looks like a brain coral with lots of mouths. A few are open larger than the rest

What about this pic? Look similar at all?

Nope, but it looks almost exactly as the picture on the bottom right under “see more”. Is this good to have?

Looks like a type of tunicate.

Sounds like a tunicate

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Just read up on tunicates. Seems like they’re hard to keep based on what they feed.
