Need help identifying... Please.

[Garrett Keller]

I noticed these jelly-like caterpillar shapes in my local lfs. This is the first time I have seen them in my home Aquarium. I'm hoping someone here has seen these before and can identify them for me.

Tunicate.

I've no idea, but interested to find out. My best guess, assuming they don't move, is some type of sponge.

Tunicate.

Thanks KJ I appreciate it. So just another harmless sponge?

Some type of fireworm.

Some type of fireworm.

It's actually stationary on the rock. So I'm guessing it's some type of sponge like KJ has mentioned. It matches many photos of found on tunicates. I looked up the fireworm and that's definitely not it, thanks for the help though.

Interesting! Can you share some of those other pics that match?

These are both very similar to what I found in my tank.

Looks like cerith snail eggs to me - or possibly nassarius

I have a massive amount of colonial tunicates in my display and they never grow onto or compete with my acros. Great bio filter.

Yes, it is a tunicate.

GXP, really great tunicate growth! Thanks for sharing!
