Hello,
I was just curios if anyone might know what this is? It is spreading on one of my rocks, and looks like it is branching at the bottom. (With branching, I thought it might be a coral?)

That's awesome whatever it is...

Tunicate.

Dripping?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Not sure I know what you mean.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at either. I think that coral might be a Leptoseris, but that small colored stuff that's falling might be an attempt to reproduce. (dripping) That grey stuff beneath & around is probably a sponge.

I'm seeing that as a deflated little portion or squished or spreading..... or just wonky.

Tunicate colony.

 

[malacoda]

While it does look quite a bit like Golden Pavona, the holes I can see randomly about it have me more inclined to agree that it is a tunicate colony.

What ever it is, it's very cool.
