I have found something interesting in my tank yesterday...

What is white with bright red spots and is squishy all over?

There are 2 of them and they are a little smaller than a marble. They appear smooth with red dots. I poked them a little with a stick ( turkey baster) to see if they would move (run away or close in anyway) they didnt move. There are little black bugs that I saw run across them. Ick. Any ideas. I have posted in other forums with there ID as either the mushroom form Alice in Wonderland or something from Mario Brothers! Actually someone thought it might be a tunicate but I cant find any photos that looks like mine. Mine are more solid not transparent at all. Here is a photo. Thanks for any info!

kinda looks like some of the bubble algae in my tank. They get kinda white/bleached looking with spots....

does yours have a mouth?

I think it may be some sort of algae but Im not sure.

Wow I've never seen anything like that. Is the anatomy just like a mushroom?
