Hello everyone! I've never seen one of these critters in a tank before so I'm not sure exactly what I'm dealing with. It looks like it could be a Tunicate but I was hoping someone could confirm.

I noticed these in my refugium as they have connected themselves to my sea lettuce. Can't find them anywhere else in the tank. They all have 2 mouths, at least the 2 I found do, and just seem to be filter feeding (I can see them open and close their mouths). Their bodies are rounded and look sponge-like.

Does it move around or is it sessile? I presume you are not asking about the algae :)
