Possible black tunicate with neon tip?

[najer]

I rotated it, only one opening.

Does anyone else buy corals or frags because you spot something interesting?
The frag is an orange nepthea, this was still in the bag, just in so I will get a pic in a bit.

Could be lollipop tunicate. Especially it has a stem. Or you'll have to wait it out and see if it opens up into something different. Nice

I had a squint just, looks like there is a second hole!

Some reef stores, I've noticed use a lot of blue light and it makes it hard to see any of the small creatures.

The odd thing is I noticed yours has a stem and throws me off

It has gone into a big sulk lol!

Kinda looks like clavelina robusta, very distinct colors. On the images in Tyrees book they do have stallks too. If that's them, i'm jealous

Pretty sure it's not Nephtheis (lollipop) though

crazy how most times the hitchhikers can be cooler than the main coral

 

[sixty_reefer]

Agree with above it kinda looks like clavelinidae

Looks -sorta- like this. Not sure of the exact species but I definitely think it resembles a tunicate.

Thanks all, hopefully pics later once the T5s start coming on.

i'll be waitin

So, my fox face knocked it over but we have progress, sort of!
First position was about an inch from where it is now, I couldn't get the camera at it! ;Facepalm
It was open but now it is fully retracted you can see what is like a protective (?) outer skin or tube, just a guess but that could be food that was expelled because it retracted so far?!
It is slowly starting to open again.

I found one in my 12 gallon that is very similar a few months ago

Ok, the falling over and being squashed has been a major setback, it is very slowly growing / expanding, maybe 10 mm tall, updates once it grows a bit more!

 

[sixty_reefer]

Looking forward to see this grow out mate

I'm always looking for "freebies".

first thing I do is tell them please turn off the blue.

 

[najer]

Still going well.

With it's mate.
