Weird little creatures...What are they?
 
Was working at the store tonight and found these odd little critters growing on the bottom of a piece of coral. They have grown and changed slightly since a week ago...They are about a 1/2" long and transparent, looks like something inside them now where as last week they were just hollow looking. Something going to hatch?...Weird huh! Anyone know what they are?:biggrin:

Those are tunicates.

eggs
 
from the look-maybe eel eggs?-put them in a 15 gal tank with just a air stone gently bubbling against them(and have some brine shrimp ready for feeding-looks like they might be too big for cocipods-definitely too big for rotofers)

So they are, just googled it. Kind of neat to actually see them & read a little about them.

tunicates
 
if they are they should have 2 openings-one on top and one smaller on the side
