Can you ID this red slime

[NowGlazeIT]

I have this bright red FLAT HARD thing that came on this torch corals skeleton. I can’t scratch it off with my nail and it changes shape but I never see it move and it started as a little spec the size of a lentil

Is it changing shape like it's growing or like it's moving? following

First thought, sponge.

Definitely both! And it’s to hard for a sponge I’m thinking flat worm? Or some weird form of algae

looks like a sponge to me

I think it’s growing in weird directions so it looked like it was moving but it hasn’t moved or grown in the last few days

Kinda looks like coralline...

I have 2 different shades of red coraline in the tank from blood red to maroon but this stuff is super bright flame red. It grows and stretches out like splattered flubber. I will say tho it is hard to scrape off like coraline. I wasn’t able to scrape any off with my fingernail

 

[NowGlazeIT]

But the spot I did try to scrape off has dimmed in color and reduced in size! What the heck?

Foram, Homotrema rubrum. I have three Euphyllias with the same red tree forams. Really cool little creatures.

Awesome. I learned about a new critter today. It's going to be a good day!
