I spotted this 'thing' and I have no idea what it is. It is growing in a couple different spots on this particular rock, the one pictured is by far the longest. It is slightly translucent, brown in color, ugly as sin.

LOL
Definitely more sponge-like. I searched both the sponge and tunicate before posting, but it doesnt look like either. Theres no opening at the top and it doesn't have any appendages. Literally looks like a brown tentacle growing right out of the rock.

Nope, just happens to be next to it. I was able to swipe the bubble away, the sponge remained.

EDIT: Pods are crawling all over it and its about half the size it was 30 minutes ago. Yay pods.
