Egg sac of worms or sponge?

[Mastiffsrule]

Hi,

I am cleaning my 60 after 2 months or so. Pulled a piece of equipment covered with jelly sacs. I have never seen these before. I didn’t want to stop to look it up in the middle of cleaning. Hope someone may answer before I am done good or bad to see if I need to leave this out and get ready for a fight.

They are super gross. I was hoping sponge, but looks like something inside each of them. It is fish only right now. Rock from Tampa bay live rock.

No, things looked like underwater maggots. Gotta be snails. Only thing I could think of.

Sacs tasted like banana though. Thought it would be more tapioca like. Spread like jam, not jelly on toast.

I’ll just go with what I think I see. Spirorbid worms, detritus worms and jelly.... bacteria? Seems you have a random mix of yuck.

Look like tunicate. Google Brooding Transparent Tunicate. Not a jam or jelly on toast;Hilarious
