Hi everyone. I just received 2 kg of liverock and on 1 of the rocks,came this little guy. It looks like a small purple sponge and can react quickly in closing its tubes. Any ID? Thanks!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170430/d4767e271cd56bc6fb2785357e413776.jpg

Sry. My phone camera sucks haha and the glass is a little covered in sand dust as I just disturbed the sand bed with the liverock.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170430/d16214f36864309c4e7837be44d41dab.jpg

Also there is some white blobs on the same rock. Its just a pure milky white blob, nothing else. Not sure what are they and I cant get the pic because of the angle.

I feel like i hit a jackpot. I've seen a baby snail, a serpent star and hopefully more as hitchhikers.

It looks like a Sea Squirt/Tunicate IMO.

How large is that thing? If the picture is a close up, it might be a pineapple sponge.

Does it have one opening or two? I said sea squirt because it looks to me like a second opening pointing down. Also because the pattern around the top is similar to some of my sea squirts.
