Ugly slimy white blob slug thing

[Puffthefish]

Any ideas what this might be? Came from Tampa Bay live rock

Does it move at all?

Sea squirt??

Stays in one place. This other one looked similar and is currently MIA

overnight.

I would agree that it could be a sea squirt or a sponge/tunicate. They can certainly dissolve over a matter of hours, so suddenly disappearing sounds about right. Most of them never last very long in our aquariums.

Noooo, those aren't ugly. They are fun to watch.

A sea squirt that will die soon, I guess I should not have named him. Thanks for the replys everyone

Yeah, it is pretty amazing tbt. I wanted a title that would pop if someone else was looking for an id.

Some are photosynthetic. I have several on my live rock. I can't get good photos of. I keep trying. I enjoy them so much, just watching them as they look like they are breathing.

I'm amazed my emperor hasn't eaten them yet. But she loves clove polyps.

I wouldn’t signal the end for it just yet. The odds are stacked against it for sure, but not all of them have a death sentence in our tanks. I have a pair of tunicates that have been alive in my tank for almost 3 months now. I have a video of them somewhere in my build thread lol. So who knows, yours might survive too!
