ID this please ( photo included )

While placing some new rock in the tank I seen a few things growing on the rock that looked much like a weed. Closest way I could explain it is the stem thats left after eating all the grapes off a bunch. I seen several, all about 1/4-3/4" tall. It didnt look like aiptasia, so I didnt freak and toss it in a bucket.




Kind of sorta looks like a Kenya tree ( from a pic I seen on Meleve's site ). It is living in a hole in the rock, so i dont think it gets much light under normal conditions.

I have several of those in the live rock. It's a type of sponge. It likes the shady areas between the rocks.
