Can someone ID this sponge-like growth?

Came in under some rock of a coral I got, and am unable to find any ID.

Colouration is a light pink. It contracts (only about 1mm) when something goes right beside it.

I'm baffled!?

Colonial tunicates?

Yes. Looks like some sort of Botrylloides or other didemnum tunicate
