Help....Seems like its eating away the bottom of a large cyphastrea colony i have that has grown about the size of a softball. I turned it over one day and thought it was a small anemone but it has since tripled in size and my coral will no longer encrust from the base.

colonial tunicate

pretty one too! completely harmless unless its something like T. solidum, which will grow quick enough to smother things
