Tunicate or sponge?

[SurfTrack]

Strange gelatinous or sponge like creature that reacts when I blow water on it from a pipette. It seems like it has a “foot” that is anchored to the rock.

Here is another angle of it..it seems like it has a central opening and then small holes surrounding the central opening.

Can't make anything of the photos really, but I can tell you its definitely not a sponge. Sponges have no muscles and are incapable of the movement seen in the video.

I had that thought to but im not really sure what's im looking at, could you try a closer up pic, even a really blurry zoom in might help for just a general "what is that?".

Here is my best attempt to capture it. The first photo is from the side and the second photo is from the top. Hopefully that gives a better representation of the shape of it.

Maybe an anemone? Still really hard to tell since it blends into the rock pretty well, maybe take rock out of the tank and take pics?

Good idea. I’ll do that right now. Hang tight!
