Mysterious Orangish slime?

[Tzarnold161]

I have been monitoring this stuff for a little. And it has really just seemed to start spreading and my zoa's are not happy. At night I notice what might be some sort of pods running around on it. And it appears to be fairly translucent, with like filter holes/ports
Any advice would be greatly appreciated if this!

It's possible that it may be a small patch of cyano

Tzarnold,

After soaking in your picture #3
It could be some type of tunicates

But it is hard to tell on my end if those are closed up Zoas or tunicate vents.

I think you are correct or on the right path. I have a few more picture under white lights to clearify.
There is definitely a like filtering vent opening and there is this off white growth that has been growing in size with it. If you could clearify more if you still agree as for this to be tunicates, and I guess the wouldn't cause any harm correct?
And it actually does not look like is is affecting my zoa's too much. The previous pictures were late night.
Thank you again!

This last picture you can best see the open vents? And the white growth!

What's your thoughts on the below picture / blowup

Fungus, Sponge, or the beginning of sone kind of Turnictes, but that would be a 3 way guess on my end???

Check out those perfectly shaped vent holes... ;Wideyed

Thank you!!
