Hi!

This sponge(?) came together with colony of zoanthids, was seperated and now is kept in quarantine tank.

Any information about this "thing" would be appreciated.

It's a tunicate or sea squirt, not a sponge. They're harmless filter feeders.

Thank you very much for info.

Agree with the ID. I also suggest using tweezers to get rid of that algae, it is very invasive.

Current Tank Info: tore them down to move and haven't had the time or money to set them back up
