Has anyone seen one of these and know its name?
Its firm and sort of slimy.
This is half its actual size down to 20 mill across during transit. This is the top.  This is underneath.

WOAH.
That thing -whatever it is- looks AWESOME. Give it a little poke... See if it reacts. Does it move? Does it seem to eat things? It looks like maybe a weird nudibranch? I'm really not sure. Weird coral, possibly? But it doesn't appear to be anchored... |

Dan, Joe? That thing is wild looking. I've never seen anything like it. |

Okay, I googled a few things. No sign of any nudibranchs that look like that.
I'm thinking maybe it's a detached coral of some kind? Put it right-side-up on some rock and see if it attaches. Or... Where did you get it? By any chance could you have managed to get something new? You may need a marine biologist. |

It's out of my area by a long ways. It looks like a baby Pavona or a similar coral bud to my snail-trained eye (meaning I'm certainly not a coral taxonomist).

Post it in the coral forums and see if anyone has any ideas.

So how's the mystery blob doing? Hope it's growing. Maybe once it gets older we can recognize it. That thing is cool...
