Any ideas what these are? Some sort of sponge? Egg sacks?

Unfortunately I have no issue with identifying aptasia... LOL

My copperband is doing a very good job though.

Thanks DSC! I don't think eggs as they concave. I was thinking some kind of sponge. They colonize. Looking deeper I have a lot of them. Mostly in darker areas and on the bottom side of things.

They are tunicates.

They are tunicates.

Thanks. So no real issues with them? They are just filter feeders right?

They are harmless suspension feeders but I would be careful as they grow near coral.

Sorry bringing this back. I have been searching online and not finding any turnicates that look like this. Are you sure that's what it is?
