Hitch hicker on gorgonian

[Checkmate]

Anyone please let me know what this is at the base of my bush gorgonian. It was small but seems to be taking over . not sure if i should cut bottom off or let it be . thanks for any help

Colonial tunicate, you maybe able to separate it off the gorg. It will grow and cover parts of the gorg, or die from malnutrition. Either way, It is killing the gorg.

GL hopefully youll be able to divide the 2 and place the tunicates on their own rock. They are very pretty and unique.

It’s a neat organism. Hopefully you can relocate it somehow.

If you want to save it, cut the gorgonian above the tunicate colony, don't try peeling the tunicate off or something like that

The gorgonian will grow back anyway so might as well sacrifice the side branches To give the tunicate colony an interesting shape to grow on

I agree. I'd keep it -- it's cool.

I didn't even think of that. Hopefully he didn't do as I said..
