Wha is this please?

Hey all, so I got some macro algae plants awhile back, about 2 months ago. This was on a plant. I was not sure what it was, and at the time, it was about the size of a pencil eraser. Now, it has more than tripled in size, but still stuck to the plant. One end of was also stuck on the glas. I am of course now have reservations about it, so I took it out, and put in a container until I can hopefully ID IT. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the low quality photos but it is the best I can do.

Ok, I took another picture when I got home from work. This really is the best I can get. It appears to be folded in half, and as I said earlier, half was stuck to the plant it came in on, and as it grew, the other half stuck to the glass, while still on the plant. I have removed it from my tank, and it is in a container along with the plant. If it is a sea slug as it appears, I will just pitch it. I have just never seen anything like this.

Does it have any holes/openings in it? The pic is definitely too blurry to say for sure, but it might be tunicates.

Back up your phone a bit so you can have a focus picture. Then use edit to crop the picture to whatever frame/size you want.
The animal/item you want us to ID is way out of focus.
it is not an animal that can move so it must be sponges, tunicates, or a three heads polyp.
Does it change/move when you take it out of the water?

Okay I will try what you are suggesting to get a better picture, but no it does not move at all.

Hello again, okay I took pictures as you suggested.

It does not look like a mobile invert. Best guest is a sponge or tunicate. I would leave it alone. It does not look like it going to hurt anything. Perhaps a picture with it in the water, stable without any disturbance by you.
Glad you got a great picture of it.

Easier to identify aquatic things when they are in the water.

What plant is that in the pic? I’ve been trying to ID that in my reef.

General thoughts were that it was a tunicate of some sort.
