Please help Id
Hi I'm new to this hobby, so we have completed the cycle routine clean up crew etc. and a couple of days ago brought some coral.
We moved the live rock to arrange where the coral was going and to get a hitch hiker crab out. We flipped over a piece of rock and saw these gross looking egg things. Does anyone have a idea of what it could be? And is it best to get rid of them? I would appreciate if someone could help thank you |

Those are colonial tunicates. Pretty cool hitchhikers.

Gross? You ain't seen nothin' yet.lol
As Sk8r said - colonial tunicates - great little filter feeders and a sign of good healthy rocks.

I was going to suggest tunicates, but I wasn't 100% sure and didn't want to misled anybody. They would probably prefer to be on the underside of the rock so they face away from the light.
