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?

Those are tunicates.

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.

By Golly I think you're right!

Ah well that isn't as exciting as I'd hoped for!

I like the eel eggs better!

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