Something Growing out of Green Zoa

[Hoodb]

I'm relatively new to the reef hobby and after I cycled the tank I've had a couple of clownfish and coral fragments for about a month.

There seem to be a couple of clear tubes with a solid dark colour around the tip. I've asked the LFS and they said it may be a new polyp growing but it seems quite higher than the surrounding polyps and growing out the middle of some when open so I'm worried about what it is as I can't find something similar online. There were larger ones previously there but disappeared (crab victim I assume) but a couple more showed up so below are a couple of photos:

These photos are hard to see. Maybe retake?

 

[Hoodb]

Sorry about that. The coral closed up so I'm hoping it's a bit easier to see for you. If not, I'll try to get a different/better camera. It appears as though it's two tubes side by side.

If you get a different angle and less blue light, I might be able to see it. Sorry to make you retake again!

 

[Hoodb]

No need to apologize, thank you very much for the response!

Given its location, it's hard to get a different angle but I'm hoping the below are better to see. If not I may have to try to get a better camera or find something to put behind it so the transparent tubes are easier to see.

looks like a new polyp or possibly a dying one. if you have a GOPRO those are best for ID pictures due to them being waterproof

 

[Hoodb]

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate it. And will definitely look into that.

That's what we do here! Also welcome to R2R!

Looks like some type of Tunicate (Sea Squirt).

That looks like new growth!

@Hoodb I think @Mike from TN is likely right on this one. Unusual to see tunicates make it through shipping but that was my first guess as well. Less likely it could be a sponge.

I agree on tunicates, I feel that it would be strange to have two bleached out polyps right in the middle like that

+1 It does look like Tunicates

Good catch

I’m on an iPad and my tired old eyes couldn’t make it out in the OP’s picture. I had to look at my screen through my Flipper magnifying glass.
LOL!

I'm on my phone and could only make out a clear version of the thing on the mucinex commercial.
