Another invert ID

[OgreMkV]

OK, this is a non-motile (I think) invert. The general appearance is a small white sac attached to the underside of some liverock. There are two small grabbers/antenna/stingers projecting away from the body.

There was one and it's gotten bigger. There is now one next it and another one on a different rock

Any ideas?

That's what I was going to say, but I didn't wanna be made fun of

tunicate?

The body seems to be similar, I can't google a tunicate that has the prongs though.

I've also read that they are basically impossible to keep in an aquarium and these are multiplying. I definitely need to know if these things need to go before they spread too much more.

ive got a couple of tunicate species growing in my filter that i never bought. pretty easy to keep if you ask me.

Actually it is a Scypha sponge, otherwise known as a "pineapple" sponge. A harmless filter feeder on waterborne bacteria and other nanoplankton.

Awesome. Thanks again AP

It's pretty cool that I've got sponges multiplying in my tank.

Yep. It means you have completed at least one portion of the food chain . They work well to polish water, too.
