can you get better photo???

 

[nazz13]

Its hard to get a good pic because its in the back of the tank.

It almost looks like it could be the tentacles of a condi anemone. But I doubt thats what it is. Someone else may know.

looks like a sea fan to me or some type of gorgonian. does it have polyps on it?
i doubt its anything you have to worry about, and its most likely feeding on light or filtering particles out of the water.

I would say it's a type of sponge..

 

[nazz13]

No there are no polyps or anything its very smooth looking it looks soft,maybe tubular

could be a type of sponge since he said theres no polyps.
can you poke it and see if its hard or soft?

 

[nazz13]

Could be a sponge but its kinda odly shaped for a sponge.I will check and see if its soft tommorrow and post later.It doesnt retract or grow its always stationary.
