Anyone have a clue what these things are and if I should remove them? Noticed than after I pulled out my frag rack to remove an aptasia I spotted.

With blobby/gelatinous things, pics in the water are generally better for ID purposes - that said, I'm pretty confident that these are colonial tunicates.

Some kinds of colonial tunicates can be highly invasive and grow over healthy corals, so I usually recommend they be put on their own rock somewhere you can easily control their spread.

Thanks. I'll get a picture in the water tomorrow during the day when the lights on and ping you when it's uploaded.
