Looking for an ID. Breaking down an old tank and it had a bunch of these on the rocks and in the overflow. White spongy body and a thin clear tube coming out.

They do look more like tunicates after looking again. This second picture seems to show the typical ports or vent holes that tunicates have. I am certainly not qualified to identify for sure.
