yeah... that was my first thought but... what's with the black & gray tenticles thingies surrounding it...

could it be some sort of flatworm with Barnacles glowing it on top?

I have no idea what that is but it's really cool looking. Does it move about or is it stationary?

it was posted by a reefer in korea... I asked him whether it is moving or not... hasn't relied back yet...

it does seem stationary... and looks like it's growing/propagating itself with barnacles-like shells growing in the center...

never seen anything like this...

I'm thinking it might be colonial tunicates.

This surprises me greatly.

Looks like some kind of colony of sea squirts. A fairly unique one at that. Are they hard or soft?

Sea Squirts

Yep, they're definitely tunicates.
