The way the "polyps" line up makes me think its a type of sponge. They're commonly found on the bali frag plugs and they look kind of funny. At first I thought they were a funky flatworm. I'll see if I can find a pic to show you

I've been browsing the internet for a photo and you're right it is likely more a tunicate than a sponge. I have some of it growing on my rock. I'll take a pic this weekend and post it. I do believe there is also a photo in Calfos Reef Invertebrates book (somewhere in there).

Ok here is sort of what I'm talking about. Without all the jazzy color (mine is brownish grey) They're Botryllus schlosserii
