Strange looking red thing!

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

I snaped it of the rock with pliers and then It kind of popped.

Kinda looks like a Tunicate but kinda hard to tell from the picture! If it is a Tunicate it is a harmless filter feeder that expels water when bothered.

I think you are right I just googled it and now I wish I would have left it alone now knowing its harmless. I just saw a red thing and thought "you shouldn't be there". It survived 2 ten minute dips in coral rx! then i killed the poor thing in a matter of seconds
