Thanks for the replys folks I wanted to see if any of the experts here could identify it. I'm going to look into each idea. I really appreciate the input.

Stephen, I did a google search on colonial tunicates and found "Encrusted social tunicates" found a pic of what looks very similar to what I've got. Thanks, very cool.
http://www.photoquest.com/traveling_.../travel4.shtml about halfway down the page on the right side appears to be very similar to what I've got. I also found
http://www.habitas.org.uk/marinelife...a/botsch_p.htm which appears very similar as well.

Thanks Doug

Yup, looks like it to me. My tunicates are just wee little things, and translucent.

Quinn I've been lucky with tunicates, I had rose coloured ones and white ones in my 90 gallon, now these.. the picture doesn't do the colour justice they are a very bright lime green.
