they are some frowning on my glass. I asked a local FB page and was told it was a nudi. They don’t move a d stay I place.

Hi Mike. That second photo is really good, but I still don't know what it is! But I don't think it's a nudibranch (they usually move).

You say it doesn't move, right? I assume it's soft? Can you tell if it's one individual or a colony of three (that's what it looks like)? Are we looking at it through the glass it's growing on? Or is it growing on glass that is behind it? I assume those disks aren't what is holding it to the glass?

OK, so lets call out more help. #ReefSquad
 
I scooped this out and it’s in a solo cup. It softer and a colony like. The three are connected via tissue. There are more connected together under the torch (15 or so). The pic is through glass. I’ll try to get a better pic tonight. Can’t get my phone to take great pics. (Iphone8+) I have a vid on my phone that looks better but can’t post it here.
 
They do look these. Thanks. I knew it didn’t resemble a nudi. I’m new to the hobby (1 yr in). I appreciate the help.
You're welcome. They're a cool filter feeder to have :)

Would they hurt the torch. It’s on their skeleton. I don’t mind the on the glass I just don’t don’t want to kill my torch or any other coral.

They shouldnt. However you can scrape them away as a precaution.
 
Mike, most tunicates are pretty hard to keep alive in an aquarium. So it's pretty cool that you have them. Good job by you!
 
Yeah that and green cyano! Lol. I’m working on feeding less.
