I was told these could be tunicates but I can't find any that look like this online. They are spreading fast and they do not move but recede and become flat if touched. Please help ID. Ty

Also see hydroids. These are all natural hitchhiker predators you haveand more nuisance than harmful

Very much nuisances. They are all over. Are there any fish that might nibble on them that you know of?
Not really. I recommend a net and an old credit card and scrape them off to fall into a net below and reverse net into toilet
