Please help , what are these black slug looking things ? They don’t move . They are smooth , and raised up . I touched them with my grabber tool today , while cleaning the tank . My tank has been pretty ignored , for about 3 months . I’ve had it about 7 years , and never seen anything Ike this . No new tank additions in 3 years , or more possibly . When you shine a light on them at night there are kinda holes that show up and almost glisten ? They are stationary , and didn’t react to me touching them earlier . I’ve been bad with water changes , so I know my water isn’t great . Just some info you might need to help identify . Ty
 
Here’s the best video I could get

Welcome to Reef2Reef and sorry for the slow response!

It's hard to say for sure from the video, but between the video and your description, it's most likely either a sponge or a colonial tunicate of some kind (though I'm leaning toward sponge).
