Identify: What is this attached to my Euphyllia coral? (picture)

[shawnriv]

I woke up this morning and saw this attached to my Euphyllia coral. At first I thought it was one of my white clownfish since they like to hang out in this coral at night, but no. I checked my fish roster and everyone is accounted for. I've personally never see this before and wondering what it is. Thanks!

Get rid of it. Pics dark but appears to be a nudibranch. Monti does not have any nudibranch friends

Will do. I've never had or seen a nudibranch before. This one is pure white and isn't moving at all - only attached to the coral. The coral doesn't seem to show any stress. I didn't know if it was an extension of the coral that I've never seen before.

See below - sorry for the algae on glass. Very strange.

Doubt nudibranch. May be sponge. Still discard as euphyllia is easily disturbed

That's not a nudi. Possible sponge is it soft or hard.

Very strange - see picture. I pulled it out and it's rock hard. I pulled some of the euphyllia tentacles with it.

Is it another euhpilia head that grew wrong ? Lol

Stick that back in the rock and you'll have another euphyllia. Very nice.

I don't think so if you zoom in you'll see that it broke and fell into the parent colony like that.

I ended up just throwing it away. Lol.
