Weird
Anything near it that could sting it?

 

[Raege]

Tagging along that is bizarre like something from an old black and white horror flick

Nope. It's pretty much by itself. There are two of these growing out between the large polyps. You can kinda make out the other one on the back left.

It is a bit creepy. And it's also very squishy. About the consistency of an anemone.

I'm not that brave! ;Wideyed;Yuck
I cheated and used an acrylic rod.

 

[sfin52]

Its also a pretty good size

Absolutely. Around 3/4" to 1" around and it looks like it stretches down the host coral a few inches.

 

[Brew12]

For size reference.

Where is @KJ ? He ID's everything!

Are those coral polyps stuck in it or part of the blob you think? I’ve read about fungi in water that look like blobs but not with mouths like that if the purple polyps are part of it. I’d be putting a tight lid on that tank

 

[dantimdad]

My opinion is that's a colony of zoanthids cropping up.

I was thinking that but what's the base

 

[jsker]

All most looks like a sea cucumber.

 

[Lasse]

Have you looked how it look like when the light is off?

Some kinda tunicate mine has spots, hairy, the mouths when I got it at first had tentacles, now mouths look like trumpets. Mine shrivels up when it senses light, vibrations. My thoughts

Now if it grows more polyps then it's something else you're on your own.
