do each of these "bubbles" have little openings on them? are there little rings on each of these single "bubbles"? it sorta looks like a sponge and a tunicate at the same time. harmless filter feeder.

Tunicates are harmless filter feeders. IMHO they are some of the most interesting animals that we can end up with. They fall into the family with vertebrates. They are more closely related to you than they are to anything else in your tank except the fish.

Since nobody has asked, is this a new tank? I noticed an anemone in there...
