Need an ID

Right smack dab in the middle of this photo there is an odd formation growing off my LR and it has kind of two tubular holes on either side of it. Anyone have any idea of what this thing is?

The white/mottled guy?

Looks like it might be a tunicate, sometimes called a "sea-squirt" - and oddly, a chordate!

Actually ...

Not in health care. (>_<) (Could probably use some, though . . . )
