Bought some a few months ago that looks similar.
Google blue chalice sponge or purple chalice sponge.

We have something in the tank that thinks it tastes great.

Haven't figured out what yet.

I'm trying to look back and see where I bought it from

Bought all of ours a few months ago.

They had the purple and the red. LiveAquaria has the red.

The stock list was from Legendary. I think they were out of California.
Great service and great prices.

The first red pic is from legendary.

The second red is from LiveAquaria and has been in the tank a lot longer.
LiveAquaria always has excellent stuff.

There is nothing left of the three purples to take a picture of.

They disappeared one by one, almost in their entirety for each individual, in one night, over the course of a month.
Thinking it is some type of Hitchhiker snail because each individual sponge frag was completely destroyed in an evening, but the other two individual purple sponge frags lasted almost a month.
Possibly a small type of limpet I can't seem to get rid of.

We bought five of the Reds total and the same thing happened to the first red the first week it was in the tank. The other two Reds from LiveAquaria look great and are developing their own individual contours.

Still no real clue as to who likes eating them for sure.

I believe Jason Fox has some. I acutally have more that my tank can handle. It is such a fast grower. Any chance you are going to Chicago Aquatic Experience? I could bring some there for you. Here is a really old picture of mine.
